Great, but a bit technical
I have seen this film a few times, and you really need to in order to understand whats going on. Basically, Dade Murphy/'Zero Cool'/'Crash Override' is an excellent hacker who has been in trouble with the FBI. When he moves to NYC, he encounters and befriends some fellow hackers, including 'Acid Burn' (Angelina Jolie), 'Cereal Killer', 'Phantom Phreak', 'Lord Nikon' and Joey, who is too uncool to have an alias apparently. Together, they discover a plot by another hacker, 'The Plague', to rob banks around the world using a worm virus, while he distracts the FBI with another virus called 'Da Vinci', which will basically cause a worldwide disaster. And why are Dade and his friends involved? Because they're getting framed for it. This movie is fast moving, fun and has a cool cast. Just try to keep up with the computer talk.
