Movies with electronics related storyline

<< < (10/22) > >>

BrianHG:
My favorite is the original Ghost In The Shell Anime series 'Stand Alone Complex' and the first Anime 2 movies.  It deals with cyberization, brain implants, the hacking of human brains through the implants and a dedicated police force for dealing with such crimes.

For those interested, here is an overview of the series:
(Please ignore the pitifully horrible 2017 live action movie adaptation of the true series.)

I haven't watched it in a long time, but I remember Virus being good.

coppercone2:

if you like weird navy electronics stuff you will like it

also, the recent Battleship movie features an alien being clocked in the head with a top end portable R&S Spectrum analyzer

At least in the US, their options to not allow it are limited to behind the scenes intrigue, but I wonder if that is why The Listening was a foreign production.  The film was unusually well done for a counter-establishment film.

There are several post-Snowden documentaries about the machinations of the NSA.  What they and others have been doing is no surprise to those who follow the crypto community in some detail.

It shows how little ordinary people often know about technology. We've failed in explaining tech areas to the public at large, or at least, the screenwriters.
--- End quote ---

That is always or almost always the case.  At best you can find Easter Eggs planted by people who know the source material.
