I had to look it up; I can't believe I have never heard of this movie, I should have been interested back then. Wargames (1983) was the film that my computer friends and I associated with our activities, and I was disappointed for years after that nothing came close to it, maybe Sneakers (1992), and 3 Days of the Condor (1975), though that is more of a spy intrigue genre, but it included a fascinating introduction to phreaking. More recently, I enjoyed Blackhat (2015) and Mr. Robot also scratched that itch. I'm going to look for Hackers (1985). Thanks for mentioning.
- effingwewt 5y agoOh man happy to help! I hope you enjoy it, your comment made me list Wargames and Sneakers on my watchlist, haven't seen those in a while. Condor and Blackhat are actually new to me so watching that first! Mr Roboto was good to me, I love BD Wong so hard- I don't know if anyone out there has seen Focus (Will Smith movie) but he is Fantastic and steals the movie though he's only in it for 10 minutes.
- effingwewt 5y agoReplying to myself here to add- I think the movie Takedown is the better 'real' hacking movie as it involves the story of the legendary Kevin Mitnick, and shows real phreaking, hacking, and social engineering. Great movie of you've not seen it!
