10 Things You Didn’t Know about the Movie Hackers

The 1995 movie Hackers follows a group of teenage computer whizzes who go from digital pranks to defending themselves against global terrorists. The portrayal of technology in the movie was not all that authentic at the time, and is totally obsolete 22 years later. But who knew that in 1995? Hackers introduced the possibilities of computer technology, if not the realities. We now have a generation of brilliant tech geeks who were inspired, for good or bad, by watching Hackers when they were kids. The movie was also Angelina Jolie's first leading role in a feature film, which didn't hurt at all. If you recall Hackers fondly, you'll want to know something about the production.       

10. Angelina Jolie and Johnny Lee Miller were married after this film.

They split after about four years, and then she went on to marry Billy Bob Thornton.

9. The game being played in the arcade is an early prototype of a Playstation game.

Wipeout was still in the developmental stage when this film was being made but would lose a few features by the time it was released.
