If a movie ever deserved to be remade its this flick.I understand there is a remake but like assault on percent 13, its far different than the original.I had to take 2 stars off because of the almost 50's innocence of the movie set in the 80's and really bad special effects compared to today.Otherwise GREAT film.Good acting and what a story.Young HS game geek thinks he hacking a game manufacturer for insights to new games but winds up hacking a secret government computer which can command all military functions in the event of a war.Well the kid "plays"a game called thermonuclear war and let your mind guess the rest. Matthew Broderick is playing someone named David but its really just Ferris Bueller as a computer geek complete with the sass like when he's late to bio class and the male teacher admonishes him by asking him "maybe you can tell us who first came up with the idea of reproduction without sex"and he answers"Your wife?"And Ally Sheedy as Jennifer his maybe girl, is far more outgoing and fun then she was in Breakfast Club.The rest of the cast excels as well.Must see if only to BEG for a updated remake !!! Trailer URL follows the pix.Released in 1983 it runs 114 minutes.
