I dont know how can a movie like hackers be on top with classic like untraceable, matrix and antitrust below it..hackers is nothing but just the idea other people have about hackers I.E who sit in dark rooms play games eat junk food etc and have no social life…
though it is totally different all hackers are big time net freaks n have a great internet presence… antitrust has done a lot of research just like untraceable as per the documentary given by BBC . discovery etc..

I saw most of them. Missed Takedown, Untraceable & Sneakers.

BTW “Pirates of silicon valley” is not a fiction. Its documentary based on reality. ;-)

Takedown is ok but recently I have watched Untraceable It’s a thriller and you will love this movie for some reason that you will get to know once you will watch the movie.!!:)

Where is TRON ?

There’s one more I would like to add: 23. It’s a German movie (so not exactly Hollywood, but very decent and well done) on group of hackers. It’s based on a true story. See imdb.

I’ve seen all these movies except the documentary pirates…
They are all entertaining. Matrix has to be the best!

I agree that Tron belongs here too.

“Untraceable” is a cool muv…but i think “hackers”(one with angelina jolie) sucked big time….it seemed so kidddish..and yes “Silicon Valley” is a must watch!!!

WTF? War Games images are easy to find, but you chose to use the poster for the not-to-be-spoken-of sequel that came out a few years ago?

Source taken from wiki:
“Firewall is a 2006 action/thriller film directed by Richard Loncraine and written by Joe Forte. Harrison Ford stars as Jack Stanfield, a security expert at a bank faced with a corporate merger and the offer of a new job.”

The movie is more interesting than the vague description wikipedia gives out, just try it for yourself. I give it a 10, and I’m harsh giving movies scores…

“eagle eye” is one of the good hacking based film. it have released in 2009.

28 Suhas February 5, 2010 at 14:29

Here’s my pick…

“The History of Hacking” (There’s an interview of the REAL Kevin Mitnick)
Thats a pretty good documentary on hacking…

“Realm of hackers” … Its a documentary about what happens if you go into “the dark side”

Both are on Youtube..

29 Harsh Agrawal February 5, 2010 at 16:08

Thanks for your input Suhas. I have seen History of hacking but I believe I missed Realm of hacking. Will get my hands on this one as well.
