The film "Hackers" was released 30 years ago today.

It doesn't have the best plot in some respects, but I love the music, the aesthetic, and the characters' sheer enjoyment of their computers and the net.

One of my favourite films :)

@ahnlak @neil Both films are good in their own way, but the cinematography of Sneakers is magical and it will be many years until a film has a cast list that amazing.

@plwt @neil it's an incredible cast that looks absurd on paper. I mean what kind of lunatic puts such wildly different talent together and expects it to work?!

(see also Ocean's Eleven, in both classic and modern form...)
