war games

One of my favorite films is the 1983 movie War Games with Matthew Broderick. He plays a boy next door computer hacker who unwittingly starts the wheels turning for a potential World War III. Below is the scene that sets it all in motion. I've watched the movie so many times but this scene is still chilling to me. For those who have never seen it, Joshua is a US Dept of Defense computer.

 

 

Joshua: Shall we play a game?

David Lightman: Oh!

Jennifer: I think it missed him.

David Lightman: Yeah. Weird isn't it? [typing] Love to. How about Global Thermonuclear War?

Joshua: Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?

David Lightman: [typing] Later. Let's play Global Thermonuclear War.

Joshua: Fine
