People clown on this flick but as a 90s teen, I can say that 28.8 bps modems and the mystery of the Internet were the absolute height of our existence.
In 1994 I had just got back to Wales from a stint working in Australia. I was 17 Music for the Jilted Generation by the Prodigy had just come out, the Rave scene was on fire I was out in forestry's 3 times a week raving if possible, My Mr2 Turbo was 2 years old still driving around the streets of Osaka Japan by some lucky bugger and a year later this film came out and had a massive influence on me I am now in my 40's and I have been a software developer over 20 years.
This movie is 25 years old this year. In 1995, the highest internet speed the average person could afford was 28.8K on a desktop computer with a landline phone modem. Today it's 5G on a smartphone in your pocket.
movie icon for me. 95th year. High school. A Hackers poster at the bus stop encouraging people to go to the cinema. A wonderful period for me, a computer enthusiast and a golden era of IT ❤️
This movie and clip defined my life. Started as a kid hacking public WiFi intercepting other ppl http cookies with my Kali linux on laptop. I am now a software engineer.
fully agreed Andrew! i worked through digging myself out of a hole of complacency i dug myself into lately. treated myself to some rolling. Watched speed racer and chattered my teeth. When i gave up on sleep just yet Hackers was the thing on the tip of my mind. big ups!
in 1995 I was 8 years old, If I had watched this movie at that time I might've been a professional coder/hacker. Sadly I didn't watch this movie till my mid-20s. The world is lucky I missed out on this movie
"I'm taking over the TV network" had me walking out with an idea for video streaming service. Too bad Netflix beat me to it. I could have been a billionaire also :)
yea fuck!! but cool since my childhood, i remember typing in QBASIC and i was alway try to know everything to do with IT, hhahahah i just made some cool stuff like a upgrade from MSDOS with qbasic plus the library called QBFuture ,,,,,,my intention was to make an advance OS over MSDOS but i was limited and memory EMS was enough but it was wondeful and fun like a hubby :) , hope they can do like part 2 but when angelina and the others are adults , married etc and someone nneed their help ...is like back to action hehehehhehe..good movie
Damn, EMS, XMS, Autoexec.bat, Config.sys. Between yoour comment, and Orbital playing, I'm tearing up over the memories.... Kids won't understand. You had to be there.....
Ohh man, I still remember connecting to the Internet via a BBS on my first PC. With my A500 faithfully entertaining my ittle bro with Cannon Fodder. Learning how to set up the proxies, TCP/IP... Netscape Navigator then communicator. Discovering Telnet Ftp Usenet. Downloading Warez.
I always wondered if the reason Dade has that ancient luggable is that it was the computer he had in the 80s before his conviction. It always seemed very out of date for 1995 so I'm guessing it was. Then again a lot of the computers the characters have in this film were too old for 1995 so who knows, only Kate had anything remotely up to date.
Was this music really in this movie cuz this song keeps getting associated with this movie when it's actually from the ending credits of Mean Girls (2004)?
I still love the movie. I write software for a living, and have programmed since the 1970s, and this movie's depiction of programming is completely hilarious. Reasons to love the movie though: Young Angela Jolie, kick ass soundtrack, some pretty funny lines, "hack the planet". One of my favorite lines: "One more dude out of you, and I'm going to slap the shit out of you." Joey's attempts to choose a cool hacker handle, such as ultralaser crack me up. Razor and Blade were pretty amusing. It's just fun. Not a movie you take seriously. I watch to relax and laugh at.
@@shrimpfriedizzy you are not 5 years old you know damn well what it is. If I tell you what it is and its not what you agree it is you are going to have a melt down and head to your safe space. Just walk away

This transition from bird's eye view of the city into bird's eye view of the motherboard was stunning…
Saw this for the first time recently and that scene alone really grasped what the 90s was. This one is a 90s masterpiece
Dude that intro is so epic, love that 90s feel to it.
Power Bill Probably one of the most nostalgic movie scenes of all time for me!
umm.. that is because it was in the 90s you idiot..
me too!
i sure do miss the early, the mid, and the late 1990s
@@princealbertzso wssentiallly the 90’s?
This movie is so 90s it hurts!!
Now it’s all gone to shit.. what has the world come too???
@Julien Adicho now it's totally opposite
@@Buugzy Hardly.
memories from our childhood especially those of us born in 1980s and experience the whole entire 1990s era hurts

Me too except I’m a junior software engineer but this movie had a lot to do with me becoming a software engineer lol
This movie did for geeks what Top Gun did for jocks :)
This movie was ahead of its time!
And yet wonderfully dated at the same time

@@ChristopherGray00 yeah 5g even not released in india
но счастливее от этого мы не стали. и глюков в софте стало только больше. fuck all systems ))
We’ve come a long way!
This film was available on laserdisc (which at the time was like the blu ray of today)

i was 1 year old when this movie came out but it is still my favorite corny 90s movie HACK THE PLANET!
hack the planet
God I miss the 90s
Vibes from movies like The Saint, Mortal Kombat, Scream, and just overall how movies were being directed and shot and scored at this time.
I also think Strange Days and I Know What You Did Last Summer. They felt really current at the time, so probably great for a 90s nostalgia thing now.
Brings me back to when I was just a little boy 90’s 2000’s
I fear aging, this song makes me think of death in fact, but I wish I could’ve been old enough to hangout in the 90’s
Weird, song gives me the same thought
Same and the 80s too. Uff heartbreak in the 80s would have been awesome
Same. Makes me wanna live. I don't want to get old and look back to a life not lived.
90s nostalgia feels so good
This movie and clip defined my life. Started as a kid hacking public WiFi intercepting other ppl http cookies with my Kali linux on laptop. I am now a software engineer.
This movie defined the 90s
7 years later, damn what a growth spurt
Don't get how realistic that is?
One of my all time favourites!!
The most 90s thing to ever 90s.
This is the most 90s thing I have ever seen and I'm loving every second
02:10 pure sound and visual perfection
fully agreed Andrew! i worked through digging myself out of a hole of complacency i dug myself into lately. treated myself to some rolling. Watched speed racer and chattered my teeth. When i gave up on sleep just yet Hackers was the thing on the tip of my mind. big ups!
Orbital brought me here
The beginning of Hackers
The ending of Mortal Kombat
i think about this movie whenever i get off an airplane
They used the BOEING 757 in Goldeneye Sleepless in Seattle , Home Alone My favorite AC
I so wanna go back. I was 7 when this was out. And haven't discovered the magic of the web well into my teens.
The 90s was really peak America haha
God this movie's music is great. Can't beat it.
Nowadays it would seem so dated but it is a cult film
Do you think they should keep the basic theme & acid-techno music but update it like they did with Tron?
Only to the pretentious.
Defendant, Dade Murphy, who calls himself Zero Cool, has repeatedly committed criminal acts of a malicious nature.
HACK THE PLANET !🌎
THIS MOVIE IS PURE ART ❤❤❤❤ PURE LOVE
One day we will be reunited.

This is so 90's I turned into a 5 year old.
Best movie ever
That shot of the Empire State Building is similar to the one in Devil Wears Prada

1:42 , your welcome
Great mixing skills
This film looks more like the 80’s than 90’s
The opening scene took place in the 80s. 1988 to be specific. The flight & the rest of the film in the year it was released. 1995.
stylistically it was early 90s ish.
God I love this movie.
Great intro
years of innocence... 90s forever
Hack the planet!
1:42 about to land on the deserted island on Animal Crossing: New Horizons be like...
Thank you for flying with *DosDos*
That airplane's windows are way too fantastic: very large and square. Silly.
They call him Corey Hart the way he wears his sunglasses at night
Still love the soundtrack 👌
I heard the song in Mortal Kombat movie before seeing this.
"I'm taking over the TV network" had me walking out with an idea for video streaming service. Too bad Netflix beat me to it. I could have been a billionaire also :)
Mortal Kombat?
You weak pathetic fools I've come for your souls
@@TheBarman92 I don't think so.
Yes, this theme song was also in it. This was also in Mean Girls, too.
The intro is 😮💨😮💨
Thank you!!

I’m sorry but this will always be associated with Mortal Kombat 1’s great ending scene

favorite establishing shot in movie history... too bad the rest of the movie is so cringey

@@michaelbauers8800 Always laught my ass at that skateboard hacker lmao
It wasn't cringey in 90s when it was released, it looked cool. Nobody's fault it's look cringey 25 years later, when technologies changed completely
Ahh the 90's. Before the woke generation took over. Dade Murphy would be disappointed in us.
all the good guys in this movie would be disappointed in people their age getting mad at "wokeness"
Woke person lol ^^^
@@Z3kyTw0 define "woke"
these days they'd never have a white guy as lead. it's akin to blasphemy among the cultural gatekeepers
