The Net

It was created in 1995. Sandra Bullock plays the role of Angela Bennett, a systems analyst in the
Cathedral Company. She has not many friends. After a floppy disk is sent to her, she becomes the
focus of Praetorians (an illegal cyber-terroristic organisation who have managed to control the
network systems of FBI and other public domains through Gatekeeper security programs which
promise the protection of all the sensitive and confidential information in this network. Sandra
Bullock manages to gain access to this network through the floppy disc. For this reason, she is
being persecuted by the main villain of the movie, who is at first pretending to be in love with her,
but actually tries to kill her. After managing to escape, her true identity is changed. She's no more
Angela, but Ruth Max. Her criminal record is changes as well, so that the police persecutes her as
well. Everything seems to be connected and well-figured and she is seen as an obstacle in the Net.
