Could you imagine someone trying to make Hackers work in the modern day?

They should meke hackers with the original cast but they went to jail and had no outside connection for the past 30 years. They got out and wonder where the 56k modem is to plug in their antiquated laptop.

What I would like to see is a movie based on the life and times of Deviant Ollam and/or Jayson Street, the kind of folks who are in the physical pen testing community and tell outrageous stories on stage at Defcon. Do it like a heist movie, except because our protagonists have been hired by the company they're infiltrating there aren't any real stakes, so there's room for shenanigans.

What exactly wouldn't work with it? Heck, even the maguffin is a magic black box that lets you unencrypt everything, including bank transfer data.

I can't think of much that won't work.

Edit: just realized I was thinking sneakers, not hackers...

Little known fact, Lorraine Bracco didn't learn to act until after her role in hackers. Source: me, after watching her "act" in hackers.
