- nlh 5y agoMy wife and I just re-watched it the other night, on a whim. What a great movie! Totally holds up 30 years later and in retrospect was WAY ahead of its time for 1992: Hacker spaces in SF, for-profit pen-test teams, cryptography and the implications of quantum computing, etc. Go watch it if you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing it. And, of course, Sidney Poitier is excellent (“Mar-tin!”)
