I'm starting to think this whole thing maybe "the shot heard round the world".
It's going to be a digital war but war none the less.
But please while you're watching this unfurl also pay attention to the dude they are trying to put in jail for 10 years over a meme and our illustrious leaders trying to make D.C. a state...also very important stories.
I think Sneakers is STILL the most accurate movie about hacking/corporate espionage ever made. Not exactly "realistic" but you can tell they had very good technical advisors and the basic tradecraft is still pretty similar.
I'd love to say a Sneakers 2 made with similar attention to detail but set in 201X with Stingray boxes and cellphone hacking would be good, but I'm sure now hollywood would make the main character a loud fat black woman and all the "hacking" would just be CGI sparkles and nonsense technobabble.

Sneakers (1992) had it right. The War is fought in 1's and 0's.

Nah, a hackjob like that? They'll have two fat black women typing furiously on the same keyboard.
And then they scissor.
Basically imagine another remake of a Dan Akroyd classic: Ghostbusters 2016.
