Hollywood is very keen to simultaneously present technology as a “cool thing” and do everything it can to protect itself from political and business upheaval against the disruptive impact of the same technology. This film represents both sides, but in a comic-book style. Hacking is painstaking, time consuming, difficult, and not at all like the visual representation provided in this movie. “Real” hacking will always take place at the closest point to the machine code.
I think I was the only one in this Sunday's TogetherTube matinee to have seen "Hackers". It was a pretty lame movie at the time #mscedc
