Science fiction entertainment industry has always been a step ahead of the world of technology and innovations. The reason is not that the directors, story writers or screenplay content creators are smarter than the scientists and entrepreneurs. The reason is, they are not bound and burdened from reality, and imagination has no boundaries. They can create and experiment with the creativity in technology that may not even exist. They make their own world of technology to bring the story together.

However, history is proof that these movies have always become a blueprint for cybercrimes regarding hacking and privacy to take things up from creativity and intelligence. It may sound stupid to many, but the fact is, cybersecurity professionals, learn a lot from having a popcorn bucket, sitting down in front of a screen streaming some really brilliant movies. Below is a list of movies that can help understand data privacy and hacking.

1. War Games

The smash-hit deserves a day off to get a well-deserved appreciation when watched. The movie features Matthew Broderick hacking a military database that activates a nuclear arsenal of the USA that raises a few red flags for the nation.

The movie is the first mass-consumed movie of that decade as a visual representation of the side effects of the internet. It takes the web as a framework and vehicle for the USAs earliest emergence of technology.

Media has focused on a real-life war games scenario after the wakeup call from the movie. The movies high tech hacking and military security concerns led the U.S. federal government to create an internet policy for the first time as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1984.

As the movie pictures a scene showing a computer dialing system to lead a term as War Dialing, an advanced technique was introduced to scan a list of phone numbers and drive a broadcast call to every number as Demon Driving or Demon Dialing.

The plot was also discussed in the congress and was later credited with the enactment of NSDD-145, as the first Presidential directive on cybersecurity.

2. Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye is a scarier version of artificial intelligence than HAL 9000. The story gets your attention with the very first scene, presenting two strangers forced to get into a situation together by strange hacks and mysterious calls. The movie picks up the heat when the Eagle Eye program is set to kill the whole leadership of the USA.

The movie includes the ways to circumvent biometric looks to stimulate a military simulation. The technology is used beautifully to bring the madness of artificial intelligence and explosives together in a trumpet. An armed MQ-9 Reaper is set to smash the whole event while the young man successfully displaces the disaster.

3. Enemy of the State

The Will Smith blockbuster was released in 1998. He played the role of a reputed lawyer, who isnt aware that a videotape in his possession proves a congressman was murdered for opposing surveillance legislation. He then becomes the target of a corrupt NSA personnel and his life begins to fall apart, and he reaches for the help of an ex-intelligence officer.

Back to the 1990s, the movie served as a conspiracy of hacking surveillance devices and to get you creative with planting devices and making shreds of evidence useful without manipulating technology. A classical turn on for data privacy professionals.

4. Skyfall

When it comes to crime, nothing beats the heat, than a James Bond mystery, suspense, and action thriller. The movie franchise features Daniel Craig tracking down the source of a terror attack and fighting against a genius hacker taking down MI6 headquarters.

The picture is an excellent treat for cyber terrorism hungry fellows. The movie gives unbeatable hacking visuals and shows how smartness and knowledge is used to track and take down a terror attack that can destroy a whole city.

5. Snowden

Joseph Gordon-Levitt played the role of Edward J. Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor, that later become disillusioned with the intelligence community. He takes revenge on the intelligence community by leaking classified data, and becomes the most famous hacker in history, fugitive to the law and a hero to the public.

The biography covers the real-life story of Edward Snowden, showing the use of hacking for a useful purpose.

6. The Circle

This dramatic 2017 story has Emma Watson landing her dream job of being an IT professional at a social media company called Circle. Soon she was forced by the founder and owner into an experiment that took transparency and privacy to a whole new level. The movie is an ideal representation of artificial intelligence, social media and mass surveillance.

科幻娛乐产业总是领先于科技创新领域。这并非是因为导演、作家或编剧比科学家和企业家聪明,而是因为他们不受现实的束缚,可以天马行空。他们可以创造和实验也许并不存在的技术创造力。他们自创技术来让故事自圆其说。

然而,历史证明,有关黑客和隐私的网络犯罪凭创造力和智慧得逞,都是借鉴了这些电影。很多人可能会觉得这听起来很蠢,但事实是,网络安全专家吃着爆米花,往屏幕前一坐,看一些真正绝妙的电影,就能学到很多东西。以下列出几部能帮助了解数据隐私和黑客行为的电影。

1. 《战争游戏》

这部轰动一时的电影值得抽出一天时间来仔细观赏。马修·布罗德里克在本片中黑进了军事数据库,激活了美国的核武库,在境内引起一系列危机。

作为一部用视觉形式展现网络危害的电影,《战争游戏》是1980年代第一部卖座的作品。该片将网络视作美国最早技术萌芽的框架与工具。

电影敲响警钟后,媒体开始关注现实生活中可能出现的“战争游戏”。该片传达的对高科技黑客以及军事安全的担忧,促使美国联邦政府首次制定网络政策,即1984年的《计算机欺诈与滥用法》。

电影中有一幕场景展示了计算机拨号系统,引入了“战争拨号”概念。随后,一项称为“恶魔驱动”或“恶魔拨号”的先进技术产生,即扫描一串电话号码并同时拨号。

美国国会也就这一情节进行了讨论,后来出台了第一项有关网络安全的总统令:第145号国家安全决策令。

2. 《鹰眼》

“鹰眼”是比HAL 9000更骇人的人工智能。影片一开始便牵动人心:两个素不相识的人遭受异常黑客入侵并接到神秘电话,被迫同陷困境。鹰眼程序将要杀死美国全部领导人时,影片迎来高潮。

影片展现了规避人脸生物特征来激发军事模拟的方式。该科技被精妙运用,将人工智能的疯狂和爆炸物集于一只小号。一架武装MQ-9“死神”无人机即将毁掉演出,年轻的主角成功解除了危機。

3. 《国家公敌》

这部由威尔·史密斯主演的大片于1998年上映。他扮演一位知名律师,不知道落到自己手中的一份录像带能证明一位议员因反对监控法案而被谋杀。随后,他成为国家安全局腐败分子的追杀目标,他的生活开始分崩离析,于是他向一位前情报官员寻求帮助。

在1990年代,这部电影助长了入侵监控设施的阴谋。影片教人在不运用技术手段的情况下巧妙植入各种设备及让零散证据发挥作用。电影可以说是一部吸引数据隐私专业人士的经典之作。

4. 《007:大破天幕杀机》

说起犯罪,没有什么比詹姆斯·邦德系列悬疑动作大片更吸睛了。《007:大破天幕杀机》讲述了丹尼尔·克雷格追踪恐怖袭击的源头,并与炸毁军情六处总部的天才黑客斗智斗勇的故事。

对网络恐怖主义题材的爱好者来说,这部电影可谓一席盛宴。该片提供了无与伦比的黑客视觉效果,并展示了如何运用聪明才智和知识储备来追踪并消灭能摧毁一整座城市的恐怖袭击。

5. 《斯诺登》

约瑟夫·戈登-莱维特在本片中饰演爱德华·J. 斯诺登,他原为国家安全局承包商,后来对情报界大失所望。他通过泄露机密数据来报复情报界,并因此成为历史上最有名的黑客,他逃脱了法律制裁,被民众视作英雄。

这部传记电影讲述了爱德华·斯诺登的真实故事,展现了将黑客技术用于正道。

6. 《圆圈》

这部2017年的电影剧情曲折,影片中,艾玛·沃森入职一家名为“圆圈”的社交媒体公司,成为梦寐以求的IT专家。然而很快,该公司的创始人迫使她参与一项实验,将透明度和隐私问题提升到一个新的高度。该片完美呈现了人工智能、社交媒体及大规模监控。
