Even though the technology depicted in it is long out of date, there's something about "Hackers" that keeps me coming back again and again.

Long live the 90's and Hack the planet!!!
When I was a homeless adolescent in the late 90's, this soundtrack was the only cassette tape I had with me. I played this song every chance I got. It soothed my soul and temporarily helped me forget about my troubles. Nearly 30 years later, this song still sounds fresh and amazing every time I hear it.
Many people think that about things from their youth. Things from your youth feel special because you were young then.people said the same thing before you and will say the same thing after you.
@@user-wr4uz8pg7m 30 year olds in the 2030s. "hey, do you remember how great it was back in 2018 when political correctness was suffocating every form of creative and intellectual expression?? I miss those days when someone else told me what I was allowed to think and say."
Watched Hackers last night. Made me feel old. I turned 22 four days before the film was released. Angela Jolie just turned 20. I was working at Grand Central Terminal the night they filmed the rollerblading scene.
Nobody wanted to be a nerd, unless a woman and a nerd both at the same time. Really it was a sad thing at those times, I still remember bullying in real presence through words and crying a lot.
I love nerds, specifically my nerd. It’s because of him I’ve even heard of this song and this movie. But that’s not the driving sentiment behind my love for him. He’s just awesome. ❤️
Being a nerd isn't cool anymore, since Nerds are interested in science tech and science fiction. If you want to be really cool these days you have to wear a rainbow flag as a cape, go into the middle of the street and do some primordial screeching in the name of social justice.
90's was such an interesting time period. A lot of people truly consider the 60's to kind of be the birth of discovering yourself and being free and all of that. But so many things were introduced in the 90's. Technology EXPLODED and style did as well. This movie is so 90's it is unreal. The music, the technology, and the style.
That wasn't true at all. Most people didn't know what a computer was or even used one until the mid 2000's. Software design was awful and difficult to use. Back in the 90's you didn't have google that you could type up a quick question and receive an answer on the spot. Search engines were shit and it could take you days before you found a good enough answer to a computer problem. Sometimes you didn't find one at all so you had to go to your local tech shop or book store. Sometimes driving miles.
Actually with the advent of the pentium, and it's cheaper faster counter part the AMD K5 and the ease of windows 95, the PC started to become mainstream. The cost to own a computer had dropped considerably from the 80's along with new graphical user interfaces made the pc more friendly. Now your claims of not having something like google for fast searches and access to information you are also wrong. While now considered as a joke, services like America Online (AoL) had a great wealth of information and features you could access withing their network, along with what you could find on the web those days, Certainly we didn't have google but netscape navigator and webcrawler worked well. PC sales in the 90's drove business's like compUSA and circuit city and made bestbuy what it is today even gateway specific stores.
Till mid 2000's? Do you live in a third world country? In the mid 2000's WoW already had 5-7 million players and the gaming industry had been going strong since mid 90's. Mid 2000's already had computers in use in almost all businesses and schools were on their way to going fully digital with assignment turn-ins. Computers were fine. The internet being slow in the 90's had nothing to do with computers being bad. Alta vista did a fine job as a search engine before google popped up since the internet wasn't even that big at the time. You're probably confusing computers with the internet, and even the internet was steady and good for use in the mid 2000's. YT and facebook were up and running by the mid 2000's and myspace had been up before that.
Alta Vista yeah I remember, but does anyone remember AstaLavista?? Hacker underground, HACK THE PLANET!!! I put it where I put that thing that one time.
"Zero Cool? Crashed fifteen hundred and seven computers in one day? Biggest crash in history, front page New York Times August 10th, 1988. I thought you was black man. YO THIS IS ZERO COOL!"
+Jam Daly yep, and 'stuff' matters now. Between family relations, the 2016 Economy, if you live in the United States, the 'states' of things: we have an absolutely moment when a potential nominee, is being investigated by OUR GOVERNMENT. Hilary Clinton.
There's a feeling I get while listening to this distant memory that can't be replicated by anything I've come to know. Somehow, this melody brings me to a state of solace that I can't seem to replicate. When I was young and not polluted or corrupted by the way things are, when I was pure innocence witnessing life around me. No worries, no evil that couldn't be eradicated by some passing hero. Now this song brings tears to my eyes, knowing that it was all a fairytale. Some story made up by men older and wiser than myself to rid their selves of this horrible existence, to create a small respite from the chaos. I'll never again experience those days, never again will I be able to see the world like I did then. This melody is as close as I will ever get.
The guy who made the soundtrack to Hackers deserves a medal. I have no idea why I like the movie, especially as a programmer but the cheese is counter balanced by the sheer commitment and believability of the characters. Fantastic movie
because its beautiful, makes no sense but its fun and there is the aspect of the view that the director tried to interpret circuitry. all in all good fun. The beauty of it is that most people have no clue how a MB works or in that matter an entire server itself. That's what makes this movie so great and its fun for people that know as well as for those who don't
It's just a good solid movie. I understand that they may have gotten some things wrong but, to me, everyone seemed to try hard with this movie from the film itself to the soundtrack. You don't really see that a lot especially nowadays.
Being IN the Bidness myself, and coming up....Hacking and even being heavily into computers was a counterculture. I was never the introvert, I was into the wierd music, the being ok with being called a nerd. I still got girls. I was young, crazy, and smart. 28.8 "BPS" can you imagine how slow that would be. LOL. But I love the charachters. "Meet Serial Killer" as in fruit loops. Love that line. The Plague skitching on the back of a limo to collect the disk. Razor and Blade, CyberdeliaI am gonna find the DVD and watch when I get home.
that was when techno was cool. today you have some pseudo bi sexual reach around fake techo music maker called Diplo which sounds like slang for a reach around.
FYI man, alright. You could sit at home, and do like absolutely nothing, and your name goes through like 17 computers a day. 1984? Yeah right, man. That's a typo. Orwell is here now. He's livin' large. We have no names, man. No names. We are nameless man!
With the world the way it is, you almost have to wonder, "Where are people like Crash Override, Acid Burn, Lord Nikon, & Cereal Killer when you need them?"
If time machines are ever invented, I'm going back to the 20's and working my way to the 90's... I feel this was the pinnacle. We are here now, in the dystopian future and it's not so cool.
Being scared of flight travel, I listen to this song on take off. Just like Zero in the movies. This song really gets to your head and let's you freely think about the world..
I remember I was in middle school and I was skipping school staying at home by myself. I would watch tv and got the chance to watch this movie for the very first time. Absolutely fell in love with this movie and the soundtrack. Loved the 90s style computing.
You wanted to know who I am, Zero Cool? Well, let me introduce you to the new world order. Corporations need people you me and you. We are samurai, the keyboard cowboys, and all of those other people out there who have no ideas of what's going on are the cattle. Mooo.
i still watch this movie religiously! even if the technicalities of hacking arn't quite "authentic" the way the film describes the mindset and morals of hackers is what makes it so brilliant
***** I started watching the movie a couple days ago and I think I'm beginning to fall in love again with this movie. The casting for the parts were great. The acting in the movie was excellent too because all the dialogue between the cast seemed real natural and not forced. I think we all can agree that we all like the music too since were all here enjoying this beautiful tune.
I was born 1998, my parents had me when they were around 19 or 20 so they were still SUUPER young man. Growing up was like living in that generation it was wild I got the best of the end of the 90s through them and grew up in the early 2000s. Got my parents old game consoles like the SNES, Dreamcast, N64 etc and since they were super young we were always up to date with technology etc. idk it was such a unique way of growing up because I grew up with the stuff they liked as teenagers while also growing up myself in the early 2000s to 2010s pretty rad man
@@deathgifs 82' here you missed 99% of the 90s :p 90's where 80's with internet. digital everything just coming of age. the first web sites... only doctors and lawyers had cell phones, pagers just starting to get cheap. still a lot analog around... good times
When my wife falls asleep tonight I"m going to watch this movie and pretend I'm 12 again. I walked to the movie theater with my buddy just to see this movie on opening day.
Saw Orbital in Seattle for my first concert! I was 12!! Helped shape my musical taste. I loved dancing to it with my eyes closed. Made my own dance club atmosphere in my room and would blast Orbital! ❤ 🎶 🌟 MUSIC SAVES 🌟 🎶 ❤
I need to find a place that sells the stuff close. It tasted flat but I drank it anytime I was doing bad things with computers lol. Thou Ive grown up and try to be good.
I just watched that. I didn't realize because I, for some reason, refused to watch Hackers as kid back then and was heavily into MK. Now, I watch Hacker every few months or so but I hadn't watched MK in a number of years despite having the DVD. I was like two of my favorite movies from 1995 both used this song, I couldn't believe it.
Look from 2022 - 90's were very romantic and naive time. From now music sounds very difficult and deep at the same moment. Soundtrack is still fresh and memorable
I was a kid during that time but I agree. The vibes were very welcoming and uncertain. It felt like evryone in America was sorta blending in together as one. Then 9/11 felt like flipping a light switch and evrything became so..."Real". I told my gf a few years later that it felt like you were dancing close with someone you love and then someone turns on the lights, cuts the music and pushes you apart. Those were memorable times.
This film has profoundly marked my adolescenze ( i'm from 1984). The atmosphere transported you to a timeless New York populated by strange and bizzarre characters. It was easy to fall in love with Angelina Jolie and her class as well as being mesmerized by her crazy friends like: "Cereal Killer" dressed in the Dead Kennedys shirt and his others absurd cyber/punk outfits. I would like to have a time machine to go back for a ride in 90's New York and relive those vibes, where we weren't all connected as we are now and exsperimenting with your computer in the room was like an "astral travel". Greetings fron Italy.
can always visit the 90's. just have to simplify one thing at a time. just like in math. then once its simplified enjoy it to your core then release it and come back to the now without missing out in the experience. just takes practice. ^_^
yeah, coding isnt for the feint of heart. its some pretty serious shit, especially when working with ui and whatnot. one wrong line of.code or a typo can easily make you go loco
Blast from the past, in 1995 I was about the same age as these kids in the movie and doing the same type of things on the computer. Difference with me though was I had better computer hardware and knew how to gain access to wireless systems (cellular and even the police MDC systems) so I didn't have to dial up from my land line... It is absolutely amazing how I never got caught. I never had to pay for pager service back then either..
i discover how to install mac OS 9 just from a update, i search on news channel (or forums on the time) if someone discover it, but no one. was very simple, just change some names and replace files, but i was stupid, i report the bug to apple
Pure Trance before it's time. This song still holds up today, simply amazing! 25 years ago!? Wow, this song foretold the genre of trance, absolutely amazing!
I play this playtlist in the background while designing my Game (when not dealing with sound).. something about it just makes things go so much smoother.. lol.. It's like instant rage-cure when something is being stubborn and doesn't want to work.
I miss the 90s so much. I was nine years old when this movie came out. I still remember very much. I wish I could go back to the 90s and have my innocence again. As we get older we begin to lose our innocence. Unfortunately. But we are lucky we will always have the 90s. The 90s was the best decade!
A dark room with nothing but this song playing, a bottle of peppermint schnapps, a space heater, and nothing but thoughts running through my mind = A great night ^_^
I totally agree. This NEEDS a remake there are not enough hacker movies out there, seriously. Could you imagine same actors redoing this film lol dunno if it would work but would be hella cool haha
I couldnt agree more. They would rather make another stupid remake of spiderman/superman/some hero than a brilliantly thought out and clever hacker film. There is 100% a cry for more hacking movies.
One of my all time favourite films, I think I was 13 when it was out at cinemas. The soundtrack makes it. I'm seeing the prodigy once again at sonisphere in 2 weeks :-)
remember that bit in the film where the FBI are leading joey away on TV while dade and nikon and phreak are watching and they dont even notice joey in the background, and it never happened in the story yet
+TheManJordo That's because they are happening simultaneously in the film. They didn't show Joey in the background really. That's part of the storytelling.
My experience as a hacker. When I was a kid in the early 80's to late 90's I was already using a computer when I found this hacking community. I create many hacks and programs and by the time I was 14 I could hack into banks, companies you name it. After that when I turned 15, when this filmed came out and I loved it, it made me wanna hack even more and feel expressive about hacking. I remember on the 15th of August, when I decided to launch one of my programs, I called it Poseidon (named after the greek god Poseidon who ruled the sea's and earthquakes) as soon as I had launched the I realised that this could go very well or very wrong... and only I think 2 hours later a bank system overloads and starts converting all the money to my bank account I had setup only a week ago (due to me saving for college) and I was shocked to see over 2 grand in my bank. Later in the evening I was home alone and I was in my room talking online on the community, and suddenly I thought I heard a car pulling up to my house... but I was dead wrong, I looked out my window thinking my parents had came home but I realise I had seen 6 police cars including a swat van, I had no clue why they had pulled up but I soon realised that it was because of the bank. The next thing I heard (and this was the most scariest thing of my life) my door smash down and from what I heard break into bits. Then I heard police officers running up my stair and then coming in my room and grabbing me and putting me in handcuffs. I thought I was doomed. I was taken into the police car and drove to the police station and put in a room on my own, they asked me questions like my age, name etc.... then only ten minutes later my parents were pulled into the room next door from what I could see through the window in the door. I don't want to talk about the discussing and my parents but I was taken home/escorted and they took my computer and household phones. Then came the court day. I was exclaimed not by my real name which was nonhuman like to treat someone like that (My hacker name was Commando_) and I was in the end fined and not taken to juvenile due to my age being only 15. I was fined $12,000 and was not allowed to use a computer or touch tone telephone till I was 20 indeed like Hackers the film. After that I ended up doing the right thing and now my job is helping and teaching hackers to not trust anything that has law enforcement involved. But I did end up joining Anonymous when I was 29 and left when I was 34 which is where I'm at now 36 and still a man living a good life.
Even though the technology depicted in it is long out of date, there's something about "Hackers" that keeps me coming back again and again. Part of it I guess is the energy from the cast but honestly it's also due to the soundtrack. This is a perfect example of a soundtrack guiding and enhancing the story. Long live the 90's and Hack the planet!!!

I remember watching this movie on AMC during a school morning. Best movie I've ever watched and it got me into computer technology. Hack the Planet!
Hack the planet! 👽
This song brings back memories. I used to watch this movie religiously
i still watch this movie religiously! even if the technicalities of hacking arn't quite "authentic" the way the film describes the mindset and morals of hackers is what makes it so brilliant
me to man every night i would watch this film, am going to watch it tonight now because of this song
***** I started watching the movie a couple days ago and I think I'm beginning to fall in love again with this movie. The casting for the parts were great. The acting in the movie was excellent too because all the dialogue between the cast seemed real natural and not forced. I think we all can agree that we all like the music too since were all here enjoying this beautiful tune.
Me 2 !!
hey man, im watching this movie religiously atm
It’s 2018 and I’m still stuck in 1995 😂
WHAAOOOO , this isn't woodshop class?
Gen Z here enjoying my parent’s generation music!!! Man I wish I grew up in the 90s 😢
I was born 1998, my parents had me when they were around 19 or 20 so they were still SUUPER young man. Growing up was like living in that generation it was wild I got the best of the end of the 90s through them and grew up in the early 2000s. Got my parents old game consoles like the SNES, Dreamcast, N64 etc and since they were super young we were always up to date with technology etc. idk it was such a unique way of growing up because I grew up with the stuff they liked as teenagers while also growing up myself in the early 2000s to 2010s pretty rad man
@@deathgifs 82' here you missed 99% of the 90s :p 90's where 80's with internet. digital everything just coming of age. the first web sites... only doctors and lawyers had cell phones, pagers just starting to get cheap. still a lot analog around... good times
Here in 2018??? Anyone else???
YEO
They just don't make movies like this anymore, so sad
2019 👍🙆😀🙆
No
Nope
When my wife falls asleep tonight I"m going to watch this movie and pretend I'm 12 again. I walked to the movie theater with my buddy just to see this movie on opening day.
why wasnt Freak on the cover? he's more of a main character than Joey, Nikon or Serial
JustinBlazzzee Phreak ;) and i agree. he should be there. but their are a bunch of different covers. Usually Just featuring Dade and Kate
Good question! I'm going to ask him. I agree with you! Loved the movie!
+JustinBlazzzee He was in prison when they took this photo.
Cuz he gets locked up and you never see him again lol
His mom wouldn't let him.
"Mess with the best, die like the rest."
Mostly I wanted to be comment # 666, haha.
If I don't have a handle I don't exist
i bought this soundtrack when i was in fricken highschool. class of 01 lolol.
this song is amazing. Pure and simple. And all you nerds out there... admit that you still love the movie^^
I love this movie
Who is here in Corona 2020?
I still love how they geek out over a 28.8 modem and a million psychedelic colors display!
that scene has the best line ever "Its got a pci bus!" indeed it would have. indeed.
My first username - crash295. Named after Crash Override 😁
Love this song and opening part of HACKERS a true classic and screams 90s
was also at the end of Mortal Kombat
And the ending of Mean Girls.
Saw Orbital in Seattle for my first concert! I was 12!! Helped shape my musical taste. I loved dancing to it with my eyes closed. Made my own dance club atmosphere in my room and would blast Orbital! ❤ 🎶 🌟 MUSIC SAVES 🌟 🎶 ❤
"mess with the best, die like the rest".
Ha... Reminds me of my first hack on a BBS with a 2400bps netcomm modem... good times... Jolt Cola anyone???
I need to find a place that sells the stuff close. It tasted flat but I drank it anytime I was doing bad things with computers lol. Thou Ive grown up and try to be good.
You can still get Jolt online - www.joltcola.com/
I was always jealous of the 2400 and 1200bps peeps back then, I had 300 :D
when i got into PC's in 1994 i was using a 14.4 modem war dialing looking for BBS
90s nostalgia, love jonny lee miller and angelina as a couple. ❤
I challenge you to mortal combat!!!!
Interestingly the song was also played near the end of the first Mortal Kombat movie when Liu Kang talks to his Brother's Ghost.
I just watched that. I didn't realize because I, for some reason, refused to watch Hackers as kid back then and was heavily into MK. Now, I watch Hacker every few months or so but I hadn't watched MK in a number of years despite having the DVD. I was like two of my favorite movies from 1995 both used this song, I couldn't believe it.
It's also played at the end of Mean Girls. It fits Hackers, Mortal Kombat and Mean Girls.
"HACK THE PLANET!!!"
Look from 2022 - 90's were very romantic and naive time. From now music sounds very difficult and deep at the same moment. Soundtrack is still fresh and memorable
I was a kid during that time but I agree. The vibes were very welcoming and uncertain. It felt like evryone in America was sorta blending in together as one. Then 9/11 felt like flipping a light switch and evrything became so..."Real". I told my gf a few years later that it felt like you were dancing close with someone you love and then someone turns on the lights, cuts the music and pushes you apart. Those were memorable times.
You done good this time youtube algoritium, been a long time since I've heard this.
Whenever this song kicked off in a 90's movie, you *knew* the feels were about to get real.
True, but I only know two Hackers and Mortal Kombat, was it in any other?
still banging 2024 cannot remember how many times i have watched hackers !!
this has to be one of the best instrumentals or electronica songs in a movie
The "dislikes" are all millennials who found this and said "that's not real hacker sh!t". They just don't get it. It's LEGEND MF's!
Pool on the Roof must hv sprung a Leak... ⭐️😽💋
I love this movie and great fucking song
Hack the world BITCHES.........💻💾📞
This film has profoundly marked my adolescenze ( i'm from 1984). The atmosphere transported you to a timeless New York populated by strange and bizzarre characters. It was easy to fall in love with Angelina Jolie and her class as well as being mesmerized by her crazy friends like: "Cereal Killer" dressed in the Dead Kennedys shirt and his others absurd cyber/punk outfits. I would like to have a time machine to go back for a ride in 90's New York and relive those vibes, where we weren't all connected as we are now and exsperimenting with your computer in the room was like an "astral travel". Greetings fron Italy.
We actually were connected. And we still are. Don't let our grim times convince you otherwise.
Love this movie. Definitely defines our generation. #millennials
This song always gives me goose bumps :D
NFM333 90's man. I miss them. Times where much more easy.
can always visit the 90's. just have to simplify one thing at a time. just like in math. then once its simplified enjoy it to your core then release it and come back to the now without missing out in the experience. just takes practice. ^_^
same bro ! haha
people should still make the 80s and 90s music
It's a whole different mindset, and a dying one at that. Absorb all you can.
its alright
true
+Woltron X WAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
+Woltron X They do ;)
Joey addicted to his computer, while smoking a cigarette and drinking coffee "I'm not an addict." I don't think enough people appreciate that scene.
This movie influenced me to learn programming and I gave up pretty quickly, lol.
yeah, coding isnt for the feint of heart. its some pretty serious shit, especially when working with ui and whatnot. one wrong line of.code or a typo can easily make you go loco
Blast from the past, in 1995 I was about the same age as these kids in the movie and doing the same type of things on the computer. Difference with me though was I had better computer hardware and knew how to gain access to wireless systems (cellular and even the police MDC systems) so I didn't have to dial up from my land line... It is absolutely amazing how I never got caught.
I never had to pay for pager service back then either..
I never had to pay for my pager service then either LOL
Cool story bro
i discover how to install mac OS 9 just from a update, i search on news channel (or forums on the time) if someone discover it, but no one. was very simple, just change some names and replace files, but i was stupid, i report the bug to apple
you're gonna love New York, it's the city that never sleeps.
Pure Trance before it's time. This song still holds up today, simply amazing! 25 years ago!? Wow, this song foretold the genre of trance, absolutely amazing!
I play this playtlist in the background while designing my Game (when not dealing with sound).. something about it just makes things go so much smoother.. lol.. It's like instant rage-cure when something is being stubborn and doesn't want to work.
"your hopeless, utterly hopeless" Phreak.-
the 90's...you either lived it or ya missed it.
I miss the 90s so much. I was nine years old when this movie came out. I still remember very much. I wish I could go back to the 90s and have my innocence again. As we get older we begin to lose our innocence. Unfortunately. But we are lucky we will always have the 90s. The 90s was the best decade!
90s life
This song is so uplifting and beautiful.
I watch this movie at least one a month.
I was 15 when it came out and it made a huge impact on my life. I'm now 45, time flys man.
Im with all of you guys that realize the 90's were a truly special time, especially in music, every time I here this song what great memories
A dark room with nothing but this song playing, a bottle of peppermint schnapps, a space heater, and nothing but thoughts running through my mind = A great night ^_^
Some good weed in replacement of the schnapps and I'm sold!
Listen you guys....My BLT drive on my computer just went AWOL...You guys know anything about computers?
Social engineering at its finest. :)
where are all the movies like this today? The movie,music,gaming industry is collapsing.We need to go back to what was great.Hack the planet.
I totally agree. This NEEDS a remake there are not enough hacker movies out there, seriously. Could you imagine same actors redoing this film lol dunno if it would work but would be hella cool haha
Definitely!
too bad movie makers dont like taking many risks these days... so many sequels for films that they know will make them money. It's really sad
I couldnt agree more. They would rather make another stupid remake of spiderman/superman/some hero than a brilliantly thought out and clever hacker film. There is 100% a cry for more hacking movies.
which hacker movies would be recommended to watch?
Just love this movie and music! Nerds R4 ever!
You're not Elite until you urban camo your laptop. 'Hack the Planet!'
One of my all time favourite films, I think I was 13 when it was out at cinemas. The soundtrack makes it. I'm seeing the prodigy once again at sonisphere in 2 weeks :-)
I fucking love this movie, especially for this soundtrack.
2020 and still a fan of Hackers
Back when movie producers didn't just pick what was popular now for movies
remember that bit in the film where the FBI are leading joey away on TV while dade and nikon and phreak are watching and they dont even notice joey in the background, and it never happened in the story yet
+TheManJordo That's because they are happening simultaneously in the film. They didn't show Joey in the background really. That's part of the storytelling.
This song brings me so much joy.
My experience as a hacker.
When I was a kid in the early 80's to late 90's I was already using a computer when I found this hacking community. I create many hacks and programs and by the time I was 14 I could hack into banks, companies you name it. After that when I turned 15, when this filmed came out and I loved it, it made me wanna hack even more and feel expressive about hacking. I remember on the 15th of August, when I decided to launch one of my programs, I called it Poseidon (named after the greek god Poseidon who ruled the sea's and earthquakes) as soon as I had launched the I realised that this could go very well or very wrong... and only I think 2 hours later a bank system overloads and starts converting all the money to my bank account I had setup only a week ago (due to me saving for college) and I was shocked to see over 2 grand in my bank. Later in the evening I was home alone and I was in my room talking online on the community, and suddenly I thought I heard a car pulling up to my house... but I was dead wrong, I looked out my window thinking my parents had came home but I realise I had seen 6 police cars including a swat van, I had no clue why they had pulled up but I soon realised that it was because of the bank. The next thing I heard (and this was the most scariest thing of my life) my door smash down and from what I heard break into bits. Then I heard police officers running up my stair and then coming in my room and grabbing me and putting me in handcuffs. I thought I was doomed. I was taken into the police car and drove to the police station and put in a room on my own, they asked me questions like my age, name etc.... then only ten minutes later my parents were pulled into the room next door from what I could see through the window in the door. I don't want to talk about the discussing and my parents but I was taken home/escorted and they took my computer and household phones. Then came the court day. I was exclaimed not by my real name which was nonhuman like to treat someone like that (My hacker name was Commando_) and I was in the end fined and not taken to juvenile due to my age being only 15. I was fined $12,000 and was not allowed to use a computer or touch tone telephone till I was 20 indeed like Hackers the film. After that I ended up doing the right thing and now my job is helping and teaching hackers to not trust anything that has law enforcement involved. But I did end up joining Anonymous when I was 29 and left when I was 34 which is where I'm at now 36 and still a man living a good life.
If this is true then wow!! What an amazing story
w o w unreal
that's nuts
Crash and Burn!!! "I can't believe they said you won" "It was the only way I'd get a date" So many epic lines from this movie... one of my favorites.
