WarGames (w/Discussion)

Presented by Proctors and Union College Computer Science.

High school student David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) has a talent for hacking. But while trying to hack into a computer system to play unreleased video games, he unwittingly taps into the Department of Defense’s war computer and initiates a confrontation of global proportions. Together with a friend (Ally Sheedy), and a wizardly computer genius (John Wood), David must race against time to outwit his opponent and prevent a nuclear armageddon.

John Rieffel (Professor of Computer Science, Union College) will introduce the screening, and answer questions afterward. Kristina Striegnitz (Associate Professor of Computer Science, Union College) will moderate this Q&A.

Rated PG. 114 minutes plus introduction and Q&A.
