Wow! Hackers (1995)!! No one else mentioned it. What context is the use in "hacker news"? We see news of security research and attacks but also peope findinf ways to use technology in an unintended or non-obvious way. The first movie (only?) that I have heard them mention the hacker manifesto is there. Nothing else comes close in spirit (although some do better in technical detail or good plotline). I thought I won this argument with everyone a long time ago, I see there are those of you I have yet to convert.

Hackers was a good movie. But hacker culture is a bunch of overweight dudes. And that’s not what mainframes look like.

  Hackers is halfway realistic if you ignore anything that happens on a screen and remove the hollywood hotness bias.

  But increasing the memory duplexers is surely the solution to any hacking countermeasures.
