password attacking in cinema
From Anarchopedia
Making an attempt to guess a password is a movie cliché. In modern movies, the attempt is typically made at a computer terminal by a heroic character under pressure to access a system or uncover a critical piece of information. However, password guessing scenes predate the computer and can take many forms.
In most cases, the character succeeds in three guesses or fewer. This is only possible because a weak password was chosen. Still, the ease with which the character guesses the password is often criticized as being unrealistic.
Movies featuring an attempt to guess a password include:
- Horse Feathers (1932)
- WarGames (1983)
- Sneakers (1992)
- Fortress (1993)
- Jurassic Park (1993)
- The Net (1995)
- GoldenEye (1995)
- Independence Day (1996)
- Batman & Robin (1997)
- Swordfish (2001)
- Klatretøsen (2002)
- National Treasure (2004)
- Superman Returns (2006)
