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

It was a real treat to see it again but it also brought back the realization that to us, growing up in the `70s and `80s, that nuclear war was a very real possibility and the movie did manage to capture some of that fear.
The most memorable elements for me were the early "hacker" aspects (both ... Read More

War Games with Matthew Broderick. Interesting to see what computers & floppys looked like when this picture was filmed. The real Brainiac, if properly programmed, might just as easily started the countdown.
