Boot up for suspense and high-powered excitement as the rebels of the information age fight an electrifying battle in this sharp, cutting-edge adventure. Pulsating with non-stop action and nail-biting tension, Hackers is a hip, fast-paced spectacle American Urban Radio Network calls "an experience you will never forget!" While practicing the tricks of the trade, a neophyte "hacker" accomplishes the nearly impossible: He hacks the highly secured computer at the Ellingson Mineral Corporation. But in doing so, he unknowingly taps into a high-tech embezzling scheme masked by a computer virus with the potential to destroy the worlds ecosystem! And when the young hacker and his pals are targeted for the crime, the group must launch a massive cyberspace attack--one that will hopefully clear their names and prevent ecological disaster.Starring: Jonny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Fisher Stevens, and Lorraine BraccoDirector: Iain SoftleyProduced by Michael Peyser, Ralph Winter; written by Rafael Moreu; Running time of 105 minutes; Closed Captioned.

4 of 5 We wore out the VHS... Tuesday, November 26, 2002
Miki from Merrillville, IN
I am purchasing this movie again because our VHS is worn out. My husband is in the computer field and is a HUGE fan of this movie. He watches it at least twice a month. It is a fun movie and is really interesting. I love the characters and even though I am not that into computers..it still grasps my attention. I would recommend it to anyone.

5 of 5 Fantastic..... Tuesday, January 29, 2002
Unusual Activity from Somewhere in the Matrix
To all those out there curious about computers this movie is a MUST HAVE! I believe every person in the U.S. should sit down in front of the tube once in a while and pop in Hackers! Are the things he does on his computer fake or real? Anything's possible......;) Hope this review helps you make a decision on this great flick! Enjoy! Was this review helpful?

lashes765 from New York City
Wondering what that means? Well then just watch the movie and find out. Even though some of the computer lingo is not 100% correct. Who CAREZ! This movie is still the most addictive movie i have ever seen. If your a computer person who wonders what kind of cool things can be done. Well get up and buy this awesome movie. This is more than a movie. Its an experience. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Classic cheesy computer movie Tuesday, January 18, 2000
Eric from Rochester, New York
This movie is a great classic as to how things in the computer world don't really work. But that by all means does not make this a bad movie, I do own it, and I love it. I have seen it about 100 times and it's still a great movie. It's great for those who are not technologically inclined and even better for those who are (comical value). Overall I would recomend this movie, it's good! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Another in the greats of computer movies Wednesday, December 29, 1999
Slickfty2 from Frederick, MD
This is the best computer movie out. It is a wonderfully inacurate movie about teenage computer hackers. Don't get me wrong I loved it, but don't expect to take up hacking and it be anything like in the movie. At least it has a good message... Hackers aren't necessarily the bad guys.

Ties with the matrix as my favorite movie. Even better on DVD and in widescreen format. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE! Friday, July 09, 1999
xenozip from Murieta, CA
If you have ANY interest in computers at all, see this movie . . .NOW!!! A cool, if farfetched plotline that is total and 100% pure entertainment guaranteed to let you have a good time! Also, if you're a guy, the girl in the movie is pretty hot and, for you gals, the guys aren't that bad either! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Another lesser known comedy Sunday, June 27, 1999
jsmahler from San Jose, CA
Comedy? Hackers?! Amazingly, YES. This movie is filled with unending amounts of technical blunders and fantasies that only a few kinds of people would appreciate: a Hollywood producer and their victims - the unknowing masses who are unfamiliar with technology. Watch this movie only if you want to make yourself that much less intelligent. Was this review helpful?
