About this product

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.

  • WarGames (DVD, 1998)

    Matthew Broderick is David Lightman, a sixteen year old computer hacker who thinks that because he is a kid, he can do whatever he wants to and get away with it. He has a girlfriend who needs some help with her grades at school, so to impress her, he hacks into the school computer and changes her grade. In the same mentality, he is searching through the phone book for anything to do with "Games", but what he finds is NORAD. They have a super computer that has been installed to fight WWIII in the event we couldn't respond. Now instead of playing some child game, he is playing Thermo-Nuclear War! The Feds come after them, and they are arrested. When they tell the story about just playing games, nobody believes them. The truth is, that at this time, computers were so new that the people using ...

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.
