Hackers (DVD, 1998)

A genius computer geek, Dade Murphy (played by John Lee Miller), that has
been on the sidelines for some years rejoins the computer crime underworld.
Enlisting fellow hackers KILLER (Matthew Lillard); Nikon (Lawrence Mason)
and Kate (Angelina Jolie), they stumble upon a sinister cyber plot orchestrated
by a corporate computer expert. High tech suspense ensues. A good thriller
that will fill an evening with good entertainment. Will be enjoyed by the
entire family includeing teens.

Hackers, great movie. You have to remember it was in released in 1998, and its Hollywoods version of Hackers, so on that part you have to take it with a grain of salt. I found it entertaining. A young group of hackers stumble upon a computer virus planted in the Ellington computer system by their very own IT guy. In turn, the Ellington hacker tries to set up the hackers to take the fall for the partially discovered theft he's in the midst of doing. Its definitely a fantasy version of what a Hacker is, but like all movies, either you love it or hate it (I love it), and found it very entertaining. A young Angelina Jolie; Acid Burn other characters include Lord Nikon, Zero Cool... Need I say more! I put it up on the shelf next to my Star Wars, LOTR, and Napoleon Dynamite. Its a classic in my opinion. Drink Jolt Cola (do they still make it?, YES They do!!) I really did enjoy this great DVD. So, if your with me.... HACKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

Great acting, cinematography, music, but most importantly the tone and feel of the film are unrivalled in straight up coolness.

I have loved this movie from day one. Just a great movie in a small super sleuth way. Sure it maybe chessy or dated since technology has changed so much in 10 yrs. But at the time it came out it was one of the better computer geek movies.

The music is great and to this day you can still hear it on some stations which should always remind you of the film. Angelina in her first role...not digging the short hait too much, but hey, it fit the cyber image. Now look at her today.

If you like like movies with just pure fun and teen angst, this is for you.
Nothing to serious and nothing to dramatic, just great fun. If you like it as well as I do...then I highly recommend getting it. I finally was able to find it on DVD and for a great price. It arrived as described in NEW sealed condition and plays great. If you like it a lot then I also recommend getting a simular type movie called "Gleaming the Cube", with Christian Slater. Same style but with skateboards, murder and intrigue.....lol.

Thanks for letting me write a review for a great movie.

After watching this movie I wanted to be a professional computer hacker. The movie had great acting and an engaging premise of underground activity. Even though this movie was made in the 80s it lacks nothing. If you are into sci-fi, cyberspace, or have are imaginative mind, give this movie a good chance.

Hi everybody!

The movie Hackers(1998), is about an underground life, it's all about computers and hacking, plus the rebel life of the hackers.
What you'll find in this movie is not exactly how-to-hack a server, or stuff like that, but it has some really good scenes of it.
And the story is fun and interesting, it is a diferent way to understand of what the word Hacker mean, and the life of the peopple who are in to it.

I personally liked this movie, because of the story, the actors and actresses are well known, and they have a very good films. And I own different movies about hacking and stuff like that, so this one is one of my favorite ones from now on.

I think this movie worth the money, although it is a little old, you'll have a very good time seeing it, over and over.

So this movie has 5/***** stars from me.

This Movie is Simple but Fun. A must for the Hacker or Anti-Hacker in you. Childish at first viewing but ,It goes deeper as you digest it and you find yourself wanting to see it over ever so often. Simple,Entertainment with Angelinia in a Raw Pure Witty Character... Lord Nikon and Serial Killer are way cool and you will root for Crash and Burn. 5 Stars

It is interesting to note that some of the subject matter covered in this film is considered to be somewhat off the wall, the truth can be bigger than life in this fabled farce of "Them against us" and that sometimes "Revenge" can be as sweet as expected. This not a great film but a nice one to grab your popcorn and take the trip to la-la land and get a chuckle along the way.

Awsome delivery timing and awsome movie! Thanks soo much, sorry it took so long to write a review! I would by from you again! Awseom choice in movies to sell on ebay.

I decided to buy it because I love that movie, and I love computers and that movie is very exciting.

i like how the movie has it all, brains, comedy and a little bit of action, good music and great charactors

Always loved this movie, at is a staple for geeks everywhere!!! Great acting with some kids that are well known now. Matthew Lillard takes over the show and shows his comedy prolace from the start.

I was introduced to this movie by my girlfriend and liked it so much I had to get my own copy. I chose the dvd version so that it would last longer. The movie itself is really a 80's movie in style and clothing but has a lot of jokes and humor in it. While watching it you can see where a lot of todays actors and actresses got their start. This movie is good even if the watcher knows little to none about computers and hacking.

Love the soundtrack music to this. Also the visuals were really good. Acting was okay. This movie is pretty fun to watch. I enjoyed Angelina Jolie, though this is hardly one of her best performances. A-

Great deal. The DVD was in excellent shape and came in an amazing amount of time. The shipping was reasonable. Thnak you, I Will do buisness with agin.

This is a great movie. My daughter got me to watch it. My first experience with Angelina Jolie. Fantastic.
