Hackers is a 1995 American thriller film directed by Iain Softley and starring Angelina Jolie, Jonny Lee Miller, Renoly Santiago and Matthew Lillard. The film follows the exploits of a group of gifted high school hackers and their involvement in a corporate extortion conspiracy.
Dade “Zero Cool” Murphy (Jonny Lee Miller) is found guilty as an 11 year old for crashing 1,507 systems in one day and causing a single-day 7-point drop in the New York Stock Exchange and is on probation until his 18th birthday. As he transfers high school for his senior year in New York City, his hacking skills under the name of Crash Override, earn the respect of his peers. Except for Kate aka Acid Burn (Angelina Jolie), a goth-like character who owned the turf that Dade invaded recently. But when our antagonists strikes, in this case represented by another hacker, The Plague (Fisher Stevens), starts framing their friends up for a corporate extortion conspiracy and threaten environmental pollution, they had put aside their differences and worked as a team to defeat him.
The movie was trying to portray the spirit and ethics of hackers to some degree, but for me it still didn’t completely succeed in doing it. But still I'd say the movie was really worthwhile, I really enjoyed it, the cinematography was amazing, and there was no dull or boring scene in the movie, thanks to the loud music and the special effects they used. I really felt like I was watching an MTV at some scenes.lol
