Who had hacker movies in 1960? Can anyone name a hacker movie off the top of his head before War Games?
The Original Italian Job from 1969. In that movie they hack the traffic computer in Turin to create a traffic nightmare allowing them to escape in their Mini Coopers.
What it is saying is that you have an obligation to pick up your phone and call someone about it. Is that really too hard?
Yes, because of the stupid laws imposed on mobile phones that force them to have a loud distinct noise when you call 911. You simply cannot call the police without alerting everyone in the area. I once tried to report a domestic when a huge guy was pushing around his tiny girlfriend after the bar, and almost got myself flattened for the effort.
