This movie is completely brilliant. I watched it for the first time years ago and I still think about it every so often. It brings video games and computer to the Cold War. It explore the idea of machines becoming sentient enough to make their own decisions and what that could entail. It's just a great 80s movie that is completely underrated. Please check it out cause more people should watch this movie.
