Who are hackers? These are the kind of people who can crack any password in a few seconds by chaotic "fluttering" their fingers across the keyboard. Hollywood films have taught us this stereotype. Introducing you best hacker movies, selected by such a criterion as the rating on "Kinopoisk". Maybe they are far from reality, but they are spectacular, saturated with action and famous actors are filmed in them. The selection includes films produced in 2000-2017. Therefore, the extremely popular, but slightly outdated "Matrix" (1999 release) did not get into it. But her sequels hit.

A film with outdated special effects, but a hypnotic, mysterious, albeit gloomy atmosphere.

But one day, a mysterious woman named Rita tells Sullivan that Digicorp is turning its spies into meek puppets, the pen is not a transmitter, and the corporation does not need information at all.
