Top 5 4th of July hacking movies

As of my last update in September 2021, there aren't many 4th of July-specific hacking movies that are well-known. However, there are some great hacking-themed movies that you might enjoy watching on Independence Day or any other day:

1. WarGames (1983) - Directed by John Badham, this classic film follows a young computer whiz who inadvertently hacks into a military supercomputer and almost starts World War III.
2. Hackers (1995) - Directed by Iain Softley, this cult classic features a group of young hackers who uncover a conspiracy while navigating the world of hacking and cybercrime.
3. Sneakers (1992) - Directed by Phil Alden Robinson, this movie revolves around a team of security experts who are blackmailed into stealing a powerful decryption device.
4. The Matrix (1999) - Directed by the Wachowskis, this iconic sci-fi action film showcases hackers discovering the truth about their reality and their role in a simulated world controlled by machines.
5. Live Free or Die Hard (2007) - Directed by Len Wiseman, this is the fourth installment of the Die Hard series, where John McClane battles cyber-terrorists attempting to shut down the entire United States.

Please note that the hacking landscape in movies can be fictionalized and exaggerated for entertainment purposes, and real hacking may have different implications and consequences. Nevertheless, these movies can be a fun way to enjoy some tech-related action on the 4th of July.
