I'd just like to say that there has never been a hacker/cracker movie like Sneakers, and I doubt there will ever be one like it again. It was the first time I ever learned about cryptography, it featured an awesome scene where they work out where a car is based on the sound of the car going over speed ridges, it had suspense, fully dimensional characters you could care about, math, and tiger teams! What is there not to love about this movie?

Oh, and no Hollywood cliches. To this very day, this is the most authentic hacker movie in existence. Nothing else even comes close. And this movie is about 20 years old now!
