Review by Jim Bob (posted on 23-Apr-2008)

This is a movie about the teenager David (Broderick) who hacks into the NORAD computer, and starts it playing a "game" which messes with the base's computers and makes them think that the USSR is attacking. They discover that the Soviets are not attacking and do not worry until they realize that WOPR is still going to try to launch missiles at the USSR. David teaches the computer that there is no way to win a global thermonuclear war and it ceases to "attack."
