Making a list for something like documentary of the network world and hacking stuff that all levels of computer engineers and hackers cannot miss to watch

Second the motion for Antitrust. It wasn't a big commercial hit, but it's fun.

Dr. Strangelove. There are at least a couple incidents in the movie where mundane technical failure contributes to catastrophe, and where technical safeguards that rely on "human in the loop" fail because of humans.

The wikipedia article is itself as worth reading as watching the film. Bait: it mentions John von Neumann. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strangelove
