[SUBS, Prime] Hackers 1995 Movie: Free @ Prime Video

950

Available for the next 3 days.

This 30yo movie has it all - a who's who of 90's film stars including early Angelina jolie, rollerblades, Playstation, VR, 28.8bps modems, floppy discs…and a dude called Dade. +Jolt cola, +'Penn' Jilette…

Music unfortunately a let down. 9/10.

Looks like WarGames is also available for the same period (thanks to dvsbastard):

        They're TRASHING the flow of data! They're TRASHING!….

    Seriously? The use of Orbital, the Prodigy etc. is iconic

      Massive Attack too

      • +6

        Damn I love Massive Attack. By memory they used "Protection" in the movie but it's strangely omitted from the soundtrack.

      This is an excellent soundtrack! I have no idea how anyone could say any differently!

    Well described, don't forget about the pool on the roof that must have had a leak! :P I disagree entirely with you about the music. Hackers had a sick OST

    Music unfortunately a let down. 9/10.

    Amongst my ridiculously large CD collection I have the soundtrack to this movie somewhere, it's pretty good IMO. Leftfield, Prodigy, Underworld.. all good staples of 90s electronica.

    Was rubbish. sneakers ftw
    1992??

    • +1

      I LOVE Sneakers, but I also think Hackers is a great movie - two totally different movies IMHO…

    • Sneakers
      Hackers
      The Net
      Takedown
      Anti-Trust

      Not in any specific order.

    First footage of the WipEout concept too ❤️

      Well it looks like Im on top.

    Great, terrible, great movie. I still watch it every three or four years for the reminder that I did nothing with my leet skillz.

    I have to assume sarcasm re: the soundtrack. It's full of early-90s gold.

  • Such a good bad movie. Still a third place hacker movie compared to war games and sneakers IMHO.

    Wow 28.8 bits per second. That makes me feel so old young.

      Slowest I've ever used was 300 baud at 300bps. BBS would load like chat gpt a character at a time.

      Edit: well not chat gpt, like a local LLM without a GPU.

      • At least that's faster than Morse Code 😅

        Saluting my elders for the work they did in the past. I know a few old coders with their legitimately timeless Fortran skills, it deserves respect. Here I am thinking I'm cool fumbling around with Linux.

        I'll enjoy watching this film, from a better, simpler time.

  • You forgot Jolt Cola

    Mr the plague! Soundtrack is the bomb, still listen to it on occasion.

  • +1

    What? Did your ma buy you a 'puter for Christmas?

    Best movie ever, hands down.

    Never fear, I is here.

  • Plagues birthday today. Or yesterday. Americans are a bit behind.

  • Mess with the best…

  • Nice blast from the past ! Haha

    Love the vhs scene at the start

  • Nice refresh rate.

    It's in that place where I put that thing that time.

    Well sh*t on me

  • I lived the 90's and somehow I was not aware of this movie's existence.

  • +1

    Woah, looks like WarGames is also available for the same period! Friday night movie marathon sorted!

  • My dad rented this for me and my brother to watch in the late 90’s and I have no idea why, he’s not even a computer guy.

    Great memories.
