Title: 1960's era hackers become security experts faced with global conspiracy
Review: Robert Redford plays a guy who starts out as a hacker in the 1960's. Twenty odd years later he heads a close-knit group for hire by banks and whatnot who want their security systems tested to the limit. I knew guys like that in college, one of whom was hired by the university computer center after he hacked its Univac 1108 as a high school student. Others guys I knew developed an algorithm that found the masters keys to virtually every university building. Redford's character and cohorts, played by Dan Aykroyd (as an eccentric conspiracy kook) and Sydney Poitier (as a level-headed old hand who they have given the nickname "mother"), find more than just irate university administrators threatening to shut down their honors dorm! A vast conspiracy is afoot and its aim is to break into every computer system in the world and suck out vast sums of money at its leisure--and only Redford and his buddies stand in its way!
