HACKERS

"One of the most underrated gems to have come out of the 1990s."—Ryan Pollard, Starburst

"This engaging and lively exploitation fantasy-thriller succeeds at just about everything."—Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

A Y2K-Hole selection

Master hacker Dade Murphy, aka Zero Cool, aka Crash Override, has been banned from touching a keyboard for seven years after crashing over 1,500 Wall Street computers at the age of 11. Now keen to get back in front of a monitor, he finds himself in more trouble than ever – framed for the theft of millions of dollars from a major corporation. Hackers is an indisputably iconic fragment of a bygone era of standalone cyberpunk cinema – a blue-tinted teenage crime thriller that welcomes a new age where high-tech teens rule the world.

Y2K-Hole

Catch the Y2K bug at FilmScene! Y2K-hole is a celebration of some of the grimiest, most outrageous yellow-and-blue-tinted standalone sci-fi of the turn of the millennium. A generational sense of impending doom, fear of youth in revolt, and the tightening grip of technology on malleable young brains underscore these stylish, high-concept titles – so come on up to the roof to party like it’s the end of the world.
