A young computer whiz kid accidentally connects into a top secret super-computer which has complete control over the U.S. nuclear arsenal. It challenges him to a game between America and Russia, and he innocently starts the countdown to World War III. Can he convince the computer that he just wanted to play a game and not the real thing?

I adore this film. I spent many an hour as a young teenager faffing around with my PC and similar floppy disks. Recently I mad my own version of the WOPR using 12 8x8 LED dot matrices and a Raspberry Pi Pico, which has 2mb of flash storage on a device the size of about 2 quarters laid flat on the desk. I love 80s computer science fiction it had a slow burning sophistication that's long since been forgotten with today's CGI.
