	Hackers (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hackers is a movie released in 1995 that follows the misfortunes of young hacker Dade Murphy (aka "Crash Override"/"Zero Cool", played by Jonny Lee Miller), Kate Libby (aka "Acid Burn", played by Angelina Jolie) and their friends.
		The movie failed to make a profit at the box-office, but has developed a cult following from its video release despite (or, in some cases, because of) the lack of accuracy; metaphorical graphical sequences are used as a substitute for what would normally be hours of boring text screens and typing.
		"Hack the Gibson" is a phrase used in the movie that refers to the hacking of a Gibson supercomputer, a fictional brand of supercomputer probably referring to the science fiction author William Gibson, father of the cyberpunk genre and coiner of the term "cyberspace".

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Hackers"
		Hackers was a film where the soundtrack sold far more than the movie, due to a rockity-bop collection of top trance, techno and house tunes — so much, in fact, that they quickly released Hackers 2 and Hackers 3 albums (no movies to match, however).
		Hackers is both a visual and dialog ballet between these characters as they jockey for top dog while spitting in the face of computer illiterates.
		"Hacker" isn't necessarily a negative term, as it could denote someone just really good with computers, but the word typically is used to describe people who perform illegal acts with computers, such as electronic fraud, illegal access into other computers, and malicious attacks on other computers (such as creating viruses).

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Hackers \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Of course, the real difference between these and older movies that have used such hackneyed plot lines is that now they are surrounded by high-tech, computer-generated, eye-candy trappings.
		Miller and Angelina Jolie have interesting faces and are convincing as hackers, though their tenuous relationship — one of those we're-always-bickering-but-we're-really-attracted-to-each-other Hollywood stereotypes — is never developed.
		What is most surprising is that the movie is so tame — especially considering the ad campaign, which is selling the material as being on the edge.

		While this movie is in no way an accurate portrayal of "hacking," especially during the time period it was made (1995), it is still a great movie.
		Real "hackers," do not do what they do because they are anti-social (although many are) or because they have a desire to hurt anyone or to destroy anything.
		As a former hacker myself, I can tell you that it's gained a notorious reputation of distain within the hacker community but has achieved a growing acceptance among those who are new to the field.

		Hackers is more techno-paranoia from Hollywood, instilling the fear of rampaging computer geeks into America once again in yet another take on 1983's WarGames.

	Eric Corley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eric Gorden Corley is viewed by some as a leader of the computer hacker community and goes by the name "Emmanuel Goldstein", after the leader of the underground in George Orwell's classic, Nineteen Eighty-Four.
		He and his company, 2600 Enterprises, Inc., together publish a magazine called 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, which Corley founded in 1984, and which is widely read in the hacker community.
		The name "2600" was derived from the fact that phreakers in the 1960s found that the transmission of a 2600 hertz tone over a long-distance trunk connection gained access to "operator mode" and allowed the user to explore aspects of the telephone system that were not otherwise accessible.

		The central "hacker" (handle = Zero Cool) gets in trouble with the Feds at the age of 11 and is prohibited by the court from getting near a computer until age 18.
		The pranksters are more interested in one-upping one another than in foiling the bad guy or getting away from the Feds (and their pranks are like playing their equivalent of scavengerhunt videogames using phone lines to break into systems).

	MOVIE REVIEW / `Hackers' Computes Visually
		The main hackers are high school kids played by bright, sexy newcomers Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie (daughter of actor Jon Voight).
		Giving the hackers an extreme look makes them a little preposterous, but this is a movie with a fashion- ad sensibility -- style is everything.
		``Hackers'' is rated PG-13, and it's about high school kids, but somehow it seems a much more adult movie: The kids function skillfully in an adult world, and hackers by nature are not innocent.

		I personally dislike the movie to an extent, it was a fairly decent movie, but I think it is highly overrated.
		There were major continuity and plot mistakes all over that movie, take it for what it was: a teen movie, and as any teen movie, things tend to be exaggerated or fantasized.
		Hackers 2 on the other hand was a GREAT movie.
