Review of WarGames (1983) by Adrian B — 22 Sep 2013
Strange little film for which a young teenager, David Lightman (Matthew Broderick), and his friend, Jennifer Mack (Ally Sheedy), hack into a computer system of US Air Force to change their report cards.
In addition, David starts to use a source for playing games. This, as a result, leads to humongous complications when somehow they send threatening messages to the USSR, which nearly launches a nuclear war between them and the USA.
Not likely to happen, unless there were more Sheldon Cooper's from "The Big Bang Theory" within our society, but still a pretty entertaining movie to say the least. Broderick and Mack are quite fine together as the rest of the cast.
Gets a little slow by the end, however, but otherwise worth the watch.
