Amazon.com:
Cute but silly, this 1983 cautionary fantasy stars Matthew Broderick as a teenage computer genius who hacks into the Pentagon's defense system and sets World War III into motion. All the fun is in the film's set-up, as Broderick befriends Ally Sheedy and starts the international crisis by pretending while online to be the Soviet Union. After that, it's not hard to predict what's going to happen: government agents swoop in, but the story ends up in the "hands" of machines talking to one another. Thus we're stuck with flashing lights, etc. John Badham (Saturday Night Fever) directs in strict potboiler mode. Kids still like this movie, though. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, theatrical trailer, Dolby sound, director commentary, optional English, French and Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

- A Film to Help Students to Think
The Cold War ... what the heck is that? This film helps to reveal to high school students the magnitude of this worldwide crisis. (You know that there are tens of thousands of ICBMs still out there?) Of course, most high school students relate mostly to the characters, but soon some begin to understand that this is about the survival of us all. Questions follow, and we can slip in a few concepts that may hang around after adoloscence.

- amazing movie about being careful, trusting computers, security
This is an amazing movie starring Matthew Broderick. Shows what happens when you leave computers unsecured, and give them too much power and control over your life.
