Product Information
In director John Badham's WARGAMES, Matthew Broderick stars as David Lightman, a young hacker who accidentally logs on to the Department of Defense's network. Thinking that he's found a cool new computer game manufacturer, David plays checkers, chess, and other more intriguing games like Global Thermonuclear War. Realizing that their system has been tampered with, military operatives arrest him. However, the computer continues to play the "game" of thermonuclear warfare without David and generates the very real threat of World War III. In an attempt to prevent global disaster, David and his girlfriend, Jennifer (Ally Sheedy), search desperately for the scientist who designed the system before the goverment computer initates a full-scale nuclear war.A landmark of 1980s cinema, WARGAMES was keenly tuned into its time. Computers remained a relative mystery in the early 1980s, as they were used primarily by large corporations and government agencies, but not by many individuals at home. The general public had already been warned of the danger of computer takeover in 1968 with 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and this paranoia grew as computers became more popular. The threat of communist takeover and nuclear war loomed large in the collective consciousness, before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war. Video games had become highly popular, however, and for a generation of Pac-Man and Space Invaders players WARGAMES combined the country's deepest fears with its biggest fantasies. Badham's suspenseful film brings those fears to light in an exciting, fast-paced film with a great cast (Broderick, Sheedy, John Wood, Barry Corbin, Dabney Coleman) and excellent special effects.Product Identifiers

Good movie, but terrible language!
I remember watching this movie when it first came out and I really loved it. Purchased it and did enjoy it, but had forgotten about all the uses of the Lord's name in vain. Don't think I'll watch it again. Very sad. It would be great if you could get rid of the bad language.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Good computer tech to see from 1983 to compare to today's computers we have now!
Original from the VHS thing of the 1983 movie, looks to be remastered or better quality than original VHS, as it has subtitles and captions added too. To see how the best of computer equipment looked and worked from 1983, is awesome but to today's tech, a modern Xeon or Intel i-7 CPU type computer would out-do any of those older computers of 1983, so quite the advancement in our tech to where one of our modern 8-16 core CPU's can replace that entire ROOM full of stuff on this 1983 movie!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Can eath escape a stupid computer?
The story concerns imminent total nuclear destruction of earth from a computer war game gone wrong. The teen protagonists who both caused the crisis and work to defuse it, offer a tiny bit of romance on the side, too. Of course, there are logical holes in the story, but that is to be expected. Altogether it is fun, light entertainment.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

War Games DVD
War Games is a classic movie that I thoroughly enjoy watching. Glad to have it as part of my collection! Matthew Broderick plays a kid who bites off a little more than he can chew. Companioned by Ally Sheedy in this race against the clock to stop Joshua from attempting to possibly destroy humanity for real. The viewer walks away valueing all human life and remembering to make the most of the time you have here by being grateful of those around you and good times shared.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great Cold War movie, entertaining
Great Cold War movie, entertaining. An 80s warning about AI! Your kids will be engaged with this movie, and it will help "Gen Z" and others to understand the fear that older generations lived with during the cold war, some AI issues aside. Lots of fun, despite some un-necessary language scripting. I would recommend for those who do NOT want to forget the history of how the communist threat played out decades ago.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Smart Kid Having Fun and Getting in Trouble
This is a cute movie made years ago. It has the same logical ending as war should have today. The smart move is "not to play".Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
