War Games

I don't know why I rented this movie, but thought it'd be fun. Its a 1983 movie so it has all that 80 stuff in it. I wouldn't want my kids watching it, teaching them to cheat and all that, ha ha. So there is all these old computers in the movie, and this computer geek that hacks into the school system and can hack into everything. This girl hangs out with him because he gave her an "A" in their biology class, and she figures if she flirts with him he'll do more dishonest stuff like that for her. At first she leaves because she knows it isn't right, but the next day asks him to change her grade for her anyway.
So there is this new pc game coming out and he wants to play now instead of waiting. He finds the company, etc. What he doesn't know is that he's hacking into this "war" computer that computes how to fight Russia if they start a nuclear war. So he and this computer start the game, the U.S. government thinks their under attack and so start their process, but they aren't sure if its the computer running a simulation or what. The military guy spends his time chewing tobacco and talking like a retard. The nerds think they are all that and a bag of chips.
Anyway, the nerd kid is kidnapped by the FBI because they think he's a Russian spy or whatever. He's trying to save the world by finding the war computer's original maker, there is all that blah blah, "so what if your child died, you don't care about anything!"
"we're stuck on this guys island, lets make out!"
The old man changes his mind because of the dramatic speech and they go try to stop the computer from destroying the planet. Its still going, they can't stop it! They try playing tic tac toe, nothing. The computer is trying to figure out a winner, but the moral of the story is-"there are no winners in war."
Solution-"don't play"
Everyone is alive and safe, the computer was just trying to learn. The End.
Its a fun movie, nerdy and funny, but good.
