“As a certified geek, it is always pleasing to see movies that
involve computer hacking or hackers in action. Although most of
these films don’t always represent the real deal, some of them have
what it takes to excite, amuse, and inspire those who are
passionate about computers.“I have here my top 10 list or my all time favorite hacker
movies or films that involve computer hacking. Feel free to share
yours on the comment section later on:“10. Swordfish
“If you are a big fan of Halle Berry and of course, computers,
then this movie is for you. This action-packed film involves a
high-tech robber/villain named Gabriel Shear (John Travolta)
against Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman), a super hacker convicted by
the FBI but who is trying to stay clean. Gabriel is the leader of a
covert counter-terrorist unit called Black Cell who wants to steal
$9.5 billion worth of money from a secret government slush fund
(codenamed Swordfish). But since it’s locked up behind a
complicated encryption system, he offers the desperate Stanley $10
million to hack into the system and steal the money for him.”
