I remember seeing this when it came out and own the movie too. Great flick. "Hack the Planet."

Hack the planet!!
They’re trashing our rights! Trashing!
It's worth noting that the director never tried to depict what hacking looks like. The goal was to show what it feels like. When viewed through that lens, I think it does a pretty good job, despite the technical inaccuracies. I think it's a fun watch personally, despite usually being bothered by inaccuracies.
Also notable for featuring an early prototype of the Playstation game Wipeout.
Killer soundtrack too. It's nearly always present (in part or whole) in my nerd hobby playlists unless I'm doing one with a specific theme that would exclude it. All legitimately sourced and licensed, definitely not from a student-run peer-to-peer file sharing service operating over an internal college network two decades ago.
Good times.
My copy was originally sourced from a 90s LAN party, along with the movie itself, but I've since invested in both the CD and the Blu-Ray.
But the bootleg VHS-to-digital conversion tracking errors, audio sync issues, and compression artifacts add so much to the charm! The pixelation means you can barely tell whether that one scene is censored.
Script kiddies of the world, unite!
They talk about RISC-V computers in it, and we are talking about those today too
They were most likely talking about SPARC from SUN that was RISC as well and was hot at the time.
pretty sure they talk about RISC in general, not RISC-V, I don't think RISC-V started development until 2010
Acid burn has a laptop with a "p6" chip, and the mention how risc is superior. From what I remember around that time there was talk of Intel chips being risc with a translation unit changing cisc instructions to risc, so you had the compatibility of one but the speed of the other.
Hack the planet!
Crash & Burn
They named the supercomputer after one of my favorite authors, William Gibson
Also fucking Angelina Jolie, got DAMN
Ferreal. 🫠
It's still a really fun film!
This is a < 3 minute trailer.
