I remember this movie coming out when I was a rising freshman in college. At the time, the threat of a Soviet/American nuclear war was something that was a possibility and I certainly thought that you could interface with a computer with plain old text. Although it may be a little hokey, I thought it still held up. It's 80s kitsch, and can be enjoyed for it. Man, Broderick was young!
Enjoy.

What a drag. The idea of the film intrigued me, but the implementation was poor. Even though this was made in the 1980's, I can't see anyone then - or anyone now, believing what they are seeing portrayed here. A teenager being able to "hack" into a military supercomputer from his home? Before internet as we know it existed? Worse yet, the military characters don't seem to mind too much that they may or may not about to be blown to bits by a billion Soviet missiles. They take an approach of "We'll just wait it out, see if Matthew Broderick is right". NO! Don't wait to be blown up! You're the military, DO something... sigh - in fairness this is just a movie. A boring one, and an incredibly unrealistic one. I liked Ally Sheedy in this, if that is good for something, but everything else really turned me off.
