27 Stunden und 59 Minuten bleiben David Lightman, um das nukleare Desaster eines Dritten Weltkrieges zu verhindern. Über seinen Homecomputer hat der 16 jährige durch einen harten Zufall Joshua auf den Plan gerufen. Joshua, ein Computer aus dem amerikanischen Frühwarnsystem, registriert seine Eingaben als sowjetischen Nuklearangriff. Beide Supermächte sind der Meinung, von der jeweils anderen Seite angegriffen zu werden. Nur der geniale Stephen Falken, der Joshua programmierte, kann die nukleare Katastrophe verhindern. David muß ihn rechtzeitig finden...

    I was surprised by how well this still works. A lot of movies from the early '80s feel stuck in their era, but this one stays genuinely entertaining and easy to get into. It has a great mix of suspense, humor, and that nostalgic computer-era charm without feeling cheesy. The pacing isn't perfect, and some scenes take longer than they probably would in a modern movie. Even so, it remains a really fun watch with ideas that still feel relevant. Definitely one of those older films that's worth revisiting.

    Good story, slow at first but draws you in the more you watch. If you are into computers, or back to the future vibes this is great.

    This really neat throwback from the 80s is packed with action, intrigue and solid ideas from front to back. At no point does it let up. I think the movie was ahead of its time in that many people were not aware that most of this stuff was not science fiction but science fact….I certainly wasn't aware as a teenager watching this. It's worth a watch if not for a stroll down memory lane for us older folks but maybe for a younger generation to show us where we came from in many aspects.

    Classic and unmissable
  • pipanni8. Mai 2026
    Well, it's an 80's classic, so it's quirky, cute and endearing, but also dated, unfocused and full of cliches. Watch it for nostalgia only.

    WarGames (1983) is a quintessential Cold War thriller that blends teenage rebellion with global stakes. The film follows David Lightman, a curious high school hacker who accidentally accesses a military supercomputer and nearly triggers nuclear war. What makes the story so compelling is its balance of youthful mischief with sobering political tension, capturing both the excitement and danger of early computer technology. The hacking sequences, while dated by today’s standards, were realistic for the era and added authenticity to the narrative. Themes of anti-war sentiment and the fallibility of human and machine decision-making resonate strongly, making the film thought-provoking as well as entertaining. Matthew Broderick’s performance brings charm and relatability to the protagonist, while the escalating suspense keeps viewers on edge. WarGames succeeds as both a cautionary tale and an intense thriller, reminding audiences of the fragile line between play and catastrophe.

    Holds up pretty damn well considering its age, and the highly theoretical nature of the technology discussed at the time. It's great to see tech bros completely disregard the warnings this movie extolls; rest assured the US taxpayer will be forced to foot the bill eventually.

    Never gets old, I have seen it many times.

    Great Classic adventure from the 80s
  • SealTeamOne4. August 2025
    My 7th graders watched it and were riveted. If you can get Gen Alpha to stop and pay attention, the movie is a gem.

    AI supercomputer in the hands of the US government threatening World War 3 is an eerily prescient reminder that... Matthew Broderick will always look and act younger than he is. Perfectly unrealistic classic!

    No big deal. Just accidentally hacked us to extinction. Premise is funny but execution is entertaining. Love Broderick. Coleman is cute.

    One of the best cold war era films and one of the best 80s movies ever.
