WarGames
WarGames is about a boy in high school, David, who hacks into the military
base without knowing and gets in big trouble. David was that kid in school that was
into technology and was kind of socially awkward. He liked to play video games a lot
because he was in the arcade almost all of his day. When he went to the arcade, he
only played one specific game. He was so into the game that he wanted to hack it
but thats where everything went downhill. He thinks he hacked into a game when
he actually hacked into a military system called WOPR where he can control missals.
When he gets into the system he starts playing and sets missals to be shot to
certain places in the U.S. He thought he was playing a simple computer game with
another person but in reality he was unknowingly starting a war. The military thinks
that he is working with the Soviet Union so they take him in and start asking him
questions. When they realize it was just a kid that wanted to hack to play a game
they understood. If the military didnt had brought him in, it probably would have
started World War III. Josh was just a kid in highschool trying to play some games by
using hacks which led him to get in some big trouble with the military.

A big thing you can get out of this movie is that even though hacking is fun
and games and youre not using it for bad purposes, it can still lead to a bad
outcome with consequences.
