+/Sneakers/ is a 1992 movie starring a huge cast of brightest stars about penetrating testers hired by NSA to recover a Russian-founder black box codename "Setec Astronomy".
+Things get complicated and (as it was in the 90s) full of conspiracies.
+
+I watched this film /only/ because it is about hackers.
+And let me tell you, I did not leave disappointed.
+We sure got some red team hacking.
+Computers get hacked, doors get unlocked, cameras get taped.
+If this is all you want - sure, /Sneakers/ is great.
+All of those actions are believable, hackers are not the scum of the earth (as they tend to be in later movies) and it's just plain cool.
+
+What I was not expecting was a great plot!
+It's clear that the task is not what it seems.
+It's not X-Files level of conspiracy within conspiracy[fn:xf], but we've sure got some rollercoaster of those.
+It _is_ the 90s, so government are evil and private business is good, but even being raised on those ideas, I had a blast.
+Even after the /evil mastermind/ laves the shadow, it doesn't break anything.
+It may be a bit too-obvious, but what the hell. 80% of the story is great.

+
+And the movie is simply beautiful.
+It has /that/ 90s look, which can not be reproduced with modern digital effects.
+But the camera work is stop-on.
+When I pressed "play" on this hacker movie, I was not expecting such A-game.
+
+But as the movie started to show its cast, it was obvious - this was to be a blockbuster.
+An /Ocean's 11/ for the cyberage.
+Just look at the poster - Robert Redford is here!
+But, for me, Dan Aykroyd and David Strathairn stole each scene he was in.
+Aykroyd played Mother, a young hacker and conspiracy theorist ("the moon landing was fake" kind of, not "Melissa Lavigne"), and Strathairn played Whistler, a deaf phreaker[fn:phreak].
+Both played just the perfect amount of over-the-top characters - anything more, and they would be annoying.
+Everyone knew when to stop.
+
+
+All in all: great cast, beautiful cinematography and interesting story.
+And the hacking isn't brain rotting!
