War Games (1983)
Country: US
Technical: col 113m
Director: John Badham
Cast: Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, John Wood, Ally Sheedy
Synopsis:
A high school computer hacker worms his way into a National Defense super computer and challenges it to a game of war, but the computer thinks it's for real.
Review:
Adroitly handled thriller in which light comedy segues into apocalyptic nightmare. Essentially a throwback to those computer controlled scenarios of the 1960s, but with smart new kids tying in with the teen audience of the 80s. Back to the Future, here we come.
