O tomto filmu

A 80's teenager, bored by traditional high school subjects like biology but fascinated by computers, accidentally taps into the Pentagon's top-secret computer...the USA's NORAD system. He starts what he innocently believes is a computer game called "Global Thermonuclear War," but the "game" is real. The Pentagon's best minds cannot shut down or reprogram the supercomputer that is readying a missile attack against the USSR, and thereby unleash Armageddon. The teen and his girlfriend attempt to aid the helpless Pentagon and, in a frantic race against a ticking "doomsday clock," try to persuade the computer to end the "game."

Hodnocení a recenze

Saw this movie the other night for the first time. Very good cast of characters. Good story. Acting from the adult characters can be a bit over the top and just something I'd expect from a tv movie, but it's not too painful. The movie takes very intense and serious subject matter , and makes it watchable for the whole family. Wargames is a movie that gives you genuine thrills but also some lighthearted fun through out. A movie I wouldnt mind watching again.

This movie reminds me of all the good old days before technology became even creepier and even more internet connected. The plot, acting and special effects are all believable and makes you wonder if such an event could have happened.

My old video store back in the 90's use to charge only $1 a week for something this old, 1983. Dream on Google, total joke
