Hackers is a 1995 film that follows the misfortunes of the young hackers Dade Murphy ('Crash Override'/'Zero Cool', played by Jonny Lee Miller), Kate Libby ('Acid Burn', played by Angelina Jolie) and their friends. It was written by Rafael Moreu and directed by Iain Softley.
The movie failed to make a profit at the box office but has developed a cult following from its video release . It contains numerous inaccuracies, among them that metaphorical and graphical sequences are used as a substitute for the real actions involved in hacking and systems administration.
It is the first major film to star future Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie, and helped to launch the career of Matthew Lillard.
A young boy is arrested by the US Secret Service for writing a computer virus and is banned from using a computer until his 18th birthday. Years later, he and his new-found friends discover a plot to unleash a dangerous computer virus, but they must use their computer skills to find the evidence while being pursued by the Secret Service and the evil computer genius behind the virus.
