To this day, a lot of people in infosec see Sneakers as one of the best hacker movies of all time. It holds up remarkably well because process is more important than technology, and because they go after the people in the way of their goals instead of the technologies (even when they attack technology to get through the people).

They even get the "McGuffin" right. It's incredibly unlikely (but not impossible) that someone might discover an advanced mathematical shortcut to 128-bit encryption, in which case all computer security would become meaningless. It wouldn't be fancy looking, it would just work. On everything. Meanwhile, every other "hacker" movie let you know you "got in" by showing lots of fancy graphics on your computer screen.

The Original Ocean's Eleven from 1960 set the gold standard for "heist" films, so it undoubtedly influenced Sneakers in 1992. Then, in turn, Sneakers went on to be an influence on the 2001 remake of Ocean's Eleven, so it does come full circle. Yes, it is a coincidence, but no, it is not JUST a coincidence. 😬 This is easily in my Top 10 favorite films ever, btw. Glad you enjoyed it!

You mentioned War Games in your commentary - Sneakers was written by the same 2 guys who wrote that a decade earlier. And it was made by the guy who did Field of Dreams. I've long thought of this as a forgotten gem of a movie, which is kind of surprising considering all the A-list talent. I'm so glad you're giving it visibility, may you help more folks discover it.

One of my favorites was how they figured out where Marty had been taken based on the sounds he heard, and then to see it come together as they were driving over the bridge was just awesome! The score was also really well done. Simple, but it really underscored the moments when tensions rose, or a shoe dropped. Very re-watchable ♥ I'm glad you enjoyed it! ~Caroline

Thanks so much for doing this one! It was popular and successful, but somehow hasn't become the "classic" that it deserves to be. And although lots of movies go for an all-star cast, this has to be one of the most powerhouse casts ever: EIGHT Academy Award nominees (two of them winners)... Sidney Poitier, Robert Redford, Mary McDonnell, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, Ben Kingsley, David Strathairn, and then James Earl Jones dropping in unbilled at the end. And they all bring their A-game to the witty dialogue. Not that it matters for us the viewers, but by all reports the cast had a blast working together, as they had all been fans of each other's work and don't generally get put into an ensemble like this. The director afterward said the only way it could have been more fun is if the lab lost all the film, so they could make it all over again.

I saw this in the theater when I was in high school (I think we were freshmen) and loved it. In fact, I think a couple of us went back a short time later and watched it a second time, which is something I never did back then. I've been in the IT industry for over 20 years, so I would naturally be predisposed to enjoy movies like this, but even so I still think it's one of the best of its type. I can remember where we saw it, who I was with, and the fact that we snuck in candy and cans of Mountain Dew. My friends and I still quoted this movie years later...mostly Dan Aykroyd's conspiracy theory lines (cattle mutilations, etc.), but also, to this day any time the subject of a passport comes up I still think of this movie. Amazing cast, great storytelling, memorable dialog...you really can't go wrong.

I was 16 when I got my first movie theater job, 1992. I remember vividly “sneaking” into this movie and a League of Their Own in ‘92 w/popcorn or fully loaded nachos on my 15min or half hour breaks to sit in on any part of either movie, little did I know that movie reactions on KZbin would be ‘a thing’ some 30 years later. I did it the OG way, for minimum wage! This movie in particular was perfectly cast (Sydney Poitier, for goodness sake!?!), superbly directed and tightly written. Tech in every kind of spy film is going to be outdated the minute it gets released, but for all the reasons you’ve highlighted so wonderfully in this reaction, the movie itself stands up on a plateau for artistic and cinematic chops.

The math behind this movie is solid too. If someone came up with the method described in the film, a hell of a lot of encryption would be no better than tissue paper wrapping. More so in the early 90s when this was made, we're a little more diverse these days, so you wouldn't have the keys to the entire kingdom. I also appreciate that this movie, like Ghostbusters, let Dan Ackroyd's personal interest in conspiracy theories and the occult shine through in his character. The line "Cattle mutilations are up" cracks me up every time.

Starting a whole lot of people about climbing that mountain many decades ago

_Sneakers_ is one of the best films of the 1990s. A perfect movie, it *should* remind you of _Wargames_ - it's from the same screenwriters.

A very underrated film, thanks for taking the time with it. Cosmo was played by Sir Ben Kingsley, if you want to see him being a real bad guy then check him out as Don Logan in Sexy Beast with Ray Winstone. And if you turn out to like Ray Winstone then The Scum and Love, Honour & Obey are great titles too.

I’m so glad I’ve seen a couple reactors doing this movie lately. I loved this movie when I saw it in theaters as a kid and it holds up incredibly well today. It’s a shame it’s been mostly forgotten.

A bit of a forgotten 'classic'. Love the casting in this film. Also, have to add that @20:51, all I could hear was 'They call me 'Mr Tibbs!'. Watching this reminded me that you should try to look at Sidney Poitier's 'In the Heat of the Night' trilogy, if you haven't already done so. Peace All

This is such a smart movie and underrated. I wish more people knew about it, it deserves the attention. If you want another good, solid, smart movie try Black Rain with Michael Douglas

I rented this movie on VHS expecting it to be a cheesy run of the mill technology spy movie. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie was/is. The plot twists were well done and the acting, writing and directing were very good.

Glad you watched this great, somewhat older film. This came out in 1992 and Ocean's 11 came out in 2001. I'm a bit surprised - I thought they were more like 20 years apart, not just about 10. LOVE both movies though as well! Great reaction as usual. Loved your reaction to the amazing film, Deliverance too. Tough watch though - but still makes me want to go back and watch it - as it's been quite a few years.

Another movie you might not know is Lucky Number Slevin. That seems to go under the radar for a ton of people and it's really genuinely a good movie with Ben Kingsly also starring in that! Alongside Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman. Really solid watch.

This film is a work of beauty, with a score that rises to the level of a masterpiece. It stands as one of the most visually stunning creations of our era, while also boldly tackling the prescient themes of technology, power dynamics, and the manipulation of information, positioning itself ahead of its time.

I have a very weirdly vivid memory of watching this movie for the first time, because when it came out on VHS, this was one of the first two movies we watched on the brand new (and apparently highly upgraded) VCR my parents had bought. We watched it back to back with A League Of Their Own, which is funny because one of the two shady "agents" in this also plays Marla Hooch's father in that movie, so somehow we broke in our new VCR with two movies featuring the same character actor.

You saw Ben Kingsley in "Schindler's List". He's also played a villain in a couple of Marvel movies. Breakout role was "Gandhi" which you need to see sometime. Epic.
