Hack the Planet!
The movie Hackers was released 27 years ago today (September 15, 1995).
Hackers was an over-the-top depiction to anyone who knew anything about computers, the internet, or hacking at the time. Roger Ebert would comment: “I took the computer stuff in the film as seriously as the archeology in Indiana Jones.”
But it’s still a fun film to watch, especially to see the beginnings of the hero/villain characterizations of hackers in film and popular culture and the ridiculous lengths Hollywood will go through to try and making hacking look interesting and exciting to non-techie audiences.
Check out the video trailer below and facts on Wikipedia. And Adafruit has covered the movie extensively in the past – see previous posts.
