Hail the hackers
Think of classic Hollywood action heroes, and pumped-up gym jocks such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone or Vin Diesel will probably come to mind. However, there is another group of heroes who also battle the forces of evil, using their wits rather than their fists - hackers.
The genre of "hacksploitation" movies has many examples of socially maladjusted yet brilliant men and women saving the world from evil computer viruses, nuclear Armageddon and corporations run rampant. They're the thinking person's Rambos, solving the world's problems with keystrokes rather than gunshots. They're tomorrow's heroes writ large today. Hackers and your movies - we salute you.
