One of the most prominent first roles of Sandra Bullock - Angel Bennett in the film "Network" in 1995 . Films about hackers are not very frequent guests on our screens.
Maybe that’s why the thriller about the girl programmer fell in love with the audience. It was in it that the authors showed, perhaps for the first time, what a human life can turn into due to the intervention of some shadow forces that have access to your data. Angela was comfortable in her computer world until she accidentally got information about the activities of the so-called Praetorians. These are hackers with incredible power, who with one click of a
computer mouse can create a crisis in the banking sector, order the murder of a prominent politician, crack the codes of the state security system. Bennet turned out to be an unnecessary witness. Invisible rivals tried to erase the personality of the programmer. However, they met a worthy adversary: ​​Angel so simply did not give up.
The Matrix franchise also begins as films about hackers. At first, this is a story about a professional hacker Neo, before whom a terrible reality once revealed. This is one of the best roles of Keanu Reeves and the star work of Lawrence Fishburne and charming Carrie-Anne Moss.
What they breathe, what they live
"Hackers" - a film shot by Ian Softley in 1995, introduced and brought two actors together: a very young and unknown Angelina Jolie and British handsome
Johnny Lee Miller. Their hasty marriage literally a year later ended in divorce: the spouses were too young to build a serious relationship. On the screen, in their common film work, Johnny played the hacker-wunderkind Dade Murphy - a guy who, together with his fellow craftsmen, challenged the head of the security service of a large company. He conceived an insidious crime, the blame for which he wanted to blame on crackers of computer codes.
New Hackers is a documentary released in 2011. Its creators managed to become their own among modern hackers. Thus, they learned how they breathe, what these people are guided by. For some it’s just entertainment, for someone it’s a way to earn a lot of money. Filming with a hidden camera and the revelations of the heroes is what makes this journalistic work very curious and instructive.
In the name of loved ones
In 2001, Dominic Seine co-produced the USA-Australia “Password“ Swordfish ”tape. Another work from the category “films about hackers”. In addition to the famous John Travolta and Holly Berry, the action movie has just been played by Australian Hugh Jackman, who is just gaining popularity . This was right after the first part of X-Men, but before Van Helsing and Prestige. Jackman's hero Stanley Jobson agrees to a risky plan devised by a gang of former spy Shire (Travolta). His goal is to regain his good name and custody of his daughter. A similar choice was faced by the character of Harrison Ford in the thriller Fire Wall. To save the family, Jack is forced to help bandits led by Billy Cox (Paul Bettany). And the goal of the villains is serious. They want to rob a bank with a hacker by pocketing $ 100 million.
I would like films about hackers to be made more often. Very exciting topic!
