Movie Description
Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock) is a beautiful but reclusive computer systems analyst who enjoys her lonely nights surfing the net and entering chat lines. When a friend sends her a disk infected with a curious bug, she is caught up in an internet nightmare when she tries out the new program. The "beta" program gains her access to some of the world's most sensitive databases, but her friend turns up dead and she discovers that her identity has been erased and she has been given a new one which proves her to be a criminal. She must then set out to find who is behind the nefarious plot. Director Irwin Winkler produced such film classics as ROCKY and GOODFELLAS.

Editorial Reviews
"...With admirable techno-savvy, the film upgrades the paranoia-propelled thriller and downloads it into the '90s..."
USA Today - p.5D - Susan Wloszczyna
"...Bullock delivers a compelling and subtle performance..."
Premiere - pp.110-1 - Josh Rottenberg (01/01/1996)
"...You can imagine Hitchcock having paranoid fun with this idea....[Bullock's] concentration is so compelling..." -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly - pp.40-1 - Owen Gleiberman (08/11/1995)
"...The suspense is neatly achieved....Bullock again provides highly accessible, viewer-friendly entry to a story..."
Variety - Todd McCarthy (07/24/1995)
"...[Bullock is] very low-key. She's so natural she seems to be remembering a scene rather than playing it. She has a warm smile. She never overacts..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (07/28/1995)
