jroc hit the nail on the head wargames must be the only film i have seen with a realistic hack in it.even though he steals the password 2 the
schools puter it still is classified as a hack wont explain the rest watch the movie u will soon realize why it is called wargames also have
heard good things about antitrust but havent seen it yet <rant> scottish movie rental places </rant>

Hackers 2?? Never heard that one.. Whats it about?

[str34m3r]

Geepod, I'd definitely give sneakers more than 7/10. If you watch it nowadays, some of the concepts they discuss in the movie don't seem so weird. But if you look at when it came out, you realize that the movie predicts the importance of computers long before it was public knowledge. Sneakers was just ahead of its time.

hackers 2: operation takedown is the story of kevin mitnick !
inof about it on www.2600.com

I think that Anti-Trust is by far the best computer movie that I've seen. It has a believable story line and kind of intresting, makes you think of the Microsoft monopoly when you hear about Synapse.

[Leviatan]

Pirates of silicon valley is by far the best, 90% of it really happened

[Valor]

Hackers 2: Operation Takedown is actually a pretty good movie. You guys should check it out. It's a lot different than Hackers, the classic version.

pirates of silicon valley is one movie about computers but... its all about microsoft and that sucks. Swordfish is way way cool
