Cronenberg\ Cronenberg's Scanners
Posted by: jimgroom

Video duration: 452 seconds

The scene when Cameron Vale (Stepehn Lack) uses a phone booth and his telekinesis to hack the computer system. Remarkable because it was the first time I was the idea of the internet imagined on film (probably not the first time this happened, but the first I remember). Often WarGames gets all the love, but that comes two years later.
