About the Movie

In the 1983 classic WarGames, teenage computer whiz David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) accidentally hacks into a top-secret military supercomputer known as WOPR (War Operation Plan Response). What David thinks is just a game turns out to be a simulation system controlled by an AI named Joshua. When David starts playing what he believes is a harmless video game, he actually triggers a real countdown to nuclear war. With his friend Jennifer (Ally Sheedy), David must outsmart the AI and prevent global catastrophe, all while dodging the military’s attempts to capture him.

WarGames was pioneering in its depiction of AI and hacking, highlighting concerns about computer security and the potential consequences of advanced technology. Joshua, the AI in the film, is a sophisticated creation that learns and evolves, showcasing early fears about the power and unpredictability of artificial intelligence.

The movie’s famous tagline, „The only winning move is not to play,“ is inspired by the film’s climax and has become a key quote in discussions about game theory and nuclear strategy. So, next time you’re about to challenge an AI to a game of global thermonuclear war, remember: it’s all fun and games until the world’s fate hangs in the balance!
