The best movie about physical pentesting and grayhat hacking in general.
It was the previous generation's "Mr. Robot"
In a movie format, like they used to. Not a series that keeps on going... seemingly never ending.
And no real questions about the reliability of the narrator.
That first phone trunk scene in particular stands out as one of the finest hacking scenes in cinema.
Sneakers is a popular show with folks interested in tech.

If you haven't seen it I think it is worth a try. Great cast, from that exciting age of computers when everything felt like it was just on the edge of possible.

Even for folks not of that time, the cast and script are so good it's worth a watch.

hacker movie news on hacker news. seems pretty straight-forward...
It appears to be a subtle announcement that the film has been restored and will be rereleased on Blu-Ray soon
