There are hundreds of lazy low-budget cyberpunk movies that flooded the (direct-to-video) market in the 80s and 90s. Stuff like Crime Zone, Nemesis, or Omega Doom. So what cyberpunk movies can you admit are objectively bad yet still hold a place in your heart?
No, because Hackers is too awesome to be bad.
Along with Sneakers (1992), it’s still regarded as one of the most accurate hacking movies ever despite the over the top visuals (which were all practical, no CGI). Most of those social engineering tricks still work.
I genuinely want them to do hackers as a tv series. Keep the actual “hacking” as nonsense but keep the vibe and the counterculture fun.
