My Favorite Hacker Movies

Hacker living in Russia, gets tied into the mafia.
Takedown
Avoid at all cost. It's a piss poor movie and full of lies. Look up "Freedom Downtime", a documentary on the 'Free Kevin' movement. You'll quickly understand.

Untraceable
quite a talented hackers movie......... thrilling. also shows the ways of FBI cybercrime tracking the target site

Serial Experiments: Lane
13 part japanese anime series made for T.V. More about philosophy and conspiracy theory than hacking, but everything revolves around computers and the internet

Code Hunter
Low budget flick with hacking, VR and AI. Preposterous but still enjoyable.

Die Hard 4
This very good Hacking Based movi.I am very impressed this movi and i want also became hacker

Cloak and Dagger
A classic! I watched this several times as a kid. War Games is still number 1 though.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

The Bourne Ultimatum
The CIA needs to hack the mail server of a newspaper (The Guardian UK) to read the email of a reporter they assassinated. So they turn to Nmap and Zenmap GUI to hack the mail server.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Based on the internationally bestselling novel by Stieg Larsson, this film follows Lisabeth, a troubled young hacker suffering from Asperger syndrome and a history of abuse by authority figures, as she works with a journalist trying to solve a 40-year old murder mystery.

Khottabych
A teenage hacker (Gena) uses Nmap and Telnet to deface microsoft.com. Microsoft and the US authorities are understandably upset by the attack, so they send the attractive female hacker Annie to flush him out. The movie also features an epic battle between powerful genies (the kind which come in a bottle) fighting for dominion over Earth.

The Listening
A former NSA officer who defects and mounts a clandestine counter-listening station high in the Italian Alps. Nmap and NmapFE can be seen in action.

Battle Royale
One of the students is a hacker, and can be seen referencing Nmap source code.
Hackers
Perhaps this is not a good movie if you're a real hacker but personally i thought it was awesome!

Cypher
I suppose I would add the movie Cypher as a notable mention. It's a decent sci-fi flick with what was supposed to be The Matrix influences. No hacking per see, except loading virii.
