    There's a good few of them out there.

    two of my favorites would have to be

    Sneakers 1992 Robert redford and sidney poitier
    A really exciting fast paced movie.


    Wargames 1983. Matthew broderick and ally sheedy.

    A Standout 80s classic Fun movie.

    I really liked Blackhat, pretty underrated movie with amazing visualizations of hacking.

    Independence Day: that final scene with the Mac-compatible alien mothership. :D

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    Never saw it before, so rented it out on BluRay. Very nice! Better ending than Hackers :P

    It's not a bad film. Found Takedown (aka; Hackers 2) to be worth the watch.

    Rocinante, plot includes introducing computer viruses into UK government computers in the early 80s. Features an Apple ][ in the back of a van and a PDP-11 on castors. Classic.

    And if anyone out there happens to have a decent copy they'd like to sell, please let me know because I can't seem to find it for love nor money, and my copy is digitised off a VHS!

    What has no-one mentioned Tron?

    The Thirteenth Floor was also good

    IMO Blackhat was shít

    (That TV show Scorpion was utter claptrap also)
