Top 10 Hacker Movies you must see if you haven’t already!
10. Demon Seed (1977)
an organic super-computer — is being fed the sum of all human knowledge, from Chinese to cancer research. Rather unfortunately, the super-computer reaches sentience, and hacks into its creator’s computer- automated house where it develops an unhealthy interest in the scientist’s wife. What happens next is entirely beyond simple hacking, but this movie teaches you to worry about a future where computers can think and act for themselves.
9. Existenz (1999)
8. The Net (1995)
7. Sneakers (1992)
Robert Redford’s Marty Bishop leads a group of computer whiz kids who specialise in cryptography and computer security. After stealing a mysterious black box from some mysterious bad guys — who say they’re government agents, so Bishop’s conscience can be clear — he finds out the box is able to decode any encryption system in the world. Predictably, the bad guys are keen to get their hands on it. Cue intrigue.
6. Swordfish (2001)
Convicted hacker Stanley Jobson — Hugh Jackman at his finest — has the task of stealing $9.5 billion of government funds forgotten about after the aborted Operation Swordfish, and he’s being egged along by the ultra-suave Gabriel Shear (John Travolta, clearly playing himself). We don’t need to say much about Swordfish, apart from the fact that there’s a scene involving hacking on a computer with seven screens. Seven screens. You can’t get much more hacker-tastic than that.
5. WarGames (1983)
Budding hacker David finds a backdoor entrance into a giant military supercomputer mainframe and starts messing around. Nothing could go wrong, right? David plays against the computer in a game involving an — entirely theoretical, or so it seems — nuclear war between America and Russia. WarGames celebrates hacking — we think it’s required reading for any computer security enthusiast.
4. Takedown (2000)
3. Hackers (1995)
2. Tron(1982)
1. The Matrix (1999)
0.Die Hard (2007)
