This film was great and kept me watching the whole way through! The characters defiantly knew what they were doing and made this into a great film! The style looked ok but that was probably because it is quite an old film.

In this film, a teenager is trying to impress a girl by showing of his incredible hacking skills. However, what looked like a game at first, turned quickly into real life and they sent Russian missiles to hit America by accident! They tried to stop it, but the self-learning computer which they used unfortunately didn't know how to give up. In short, a great movie which kept you glued to your seat!

I would rate this film 5/5 star because it was an incredible prediction of what could actually happen. I would recommend this film to people who like sci-fi
