Wargames begins with two handing a missile launch. One man is unable to turn the key. This propmts NORAD to remove the human element from the process of lanuching missisles. David Lightman is an uninterested high school student with a home computer he uses to among others things, break into school computer to change his grades. While reading a magazine one day he see an ad for new computer games wanting to play them he tries to hack there system. David hacks a system which he thinks is a harmless computer game. The next day he learns his actions set the stage for a possible World War III.
I had not seen this movie for about 15 years. As it did then, David's computer impressed me. I still thought it was totally cool. The huge floppy disks the old school moderm. The way that David felt and reacted after he realized what he had done was very good. He didn't think he was cool. He was scared as anyone would be.
This a great movie. The story is very well paced and does a great job at showing how both David NORAD deal with situation.
10/10
