Movies with electronics related storyline
tom66:
The movie Chappie (2015) by Neil Blomkamp has a lot of electronics and software in it. The scenes where you see a Linux-like shell are surprisingly accurate too.

One of my all-time favorites. Before the big-screen, Hollywood version, there was an excellent Public TV (PBS here) documentary that I have not been able to find again.
They had a great series of scenes where, years later, they were interviewing the engineers and they asked them about wearing "pocket protectors "(older nerds know what those are - youngins might need to google the term). Each one was saying that they did not, personally, wear them, but many did. Then, for each one, they would show footage of them wearing a pocket protector :)

More "robotics" than "electronics", but how about Real Steel?

And all you see is the guy madly typing on his keyboard for five or so seconds!!! WTF?? Instead of using a mouse or whatever, he must be 'typing' into some 'Terminal'... "Select that part of the screen from 2063-1072 pixels to 2157-1200 pixels, and zoom in on it 10x" !!! :palm:
