    David, a high school hacker, hacked into a military system that had the ability to launch nuclear missiles, believing it was just a game. The government tracked the hack back to David but thought he was working for the Soviet Union, as the movie was set during the Cold War era of potential nuclear conflict between the US and USSR. In the end, the movie showed the dangers of hacking and how even innocent actions could have serious real-world consequences if a system was hacked that had control over military or critical infrastructure functions.
