They don't make em like they used to. Watched this recently more than 30 years after the original premiere. It aged surprisingly well.

So much of this is still dead-on from how cybersecurity and pen-testing works to this day. A reboot as a TV series with the same archetype characters would be a blast.

Funny, suspenseful and complex. Everything you want from the the heist genre. Great cast and character with unique traits for the story.

"Sneakers" is built around the idea of a single key breaking any encryption. If you watch with a forgiving eye to realism, it's not a bad film.
