   Is wargames a good sci-fi movie?

   • Because this was an ‘80s movie, starring two prominent members of the “Brat Pack,” WarGames is rarely discussed seriously as a great science fiction film, partly because of its ‘80s-ness. But, WarGames is more than just an outdated sci-fi flick full of quaint and unrealistic references.

   Why is wargames so famous?

   • Historically, WarGames is famous because its depiction of hacking as a real threat may have directly influenced President Reagan’s policy about computer security.

   Is wargames really about the Cold War?

   • This might make you think the film is only about the Cold War (a James Bond-ish premise, fused with something that might pass for a John Hughes movie). These unique reasons made WarGames ahead of its time 40 years ago. But now, those aspects feel like the wrong reasons to praise it.
