Editorial Review: Discount Shopping: Cute but silly, this 1983 cautionary fantasy stars Matthew Broderick as a teenage computer genius who hacks into the Pentagon's defense system and sets World War III into motion. All the fun is in the film's set-up, as Broderick befriends Ally Sheedy and starts the international crisis by pretending while online to be the Soviet Union. After that, it's not hard to predict what's going to happen: government agents swoop in, but the story ends up in the "hands" of machines talking to one another. Thus we're stuck with flashing lights, etc. John Badham (Saturday Night Fever) directs in strict potboiler mode. Kids still like this movie, though. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, theatrical trailer, Dolby sound, director commentary, optional English, French and Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:

Broderick's character initially plays the "side" of Russia, prompting the computer ... Read More Rating: - War GamesAn older movie starring a young Matthew Broderick. A boy decides to get into a hidden spot on the computer and taps into the military computers. When he starts to play this game, the computer thinks it is real.
