Hacking. Each and every time it is part of a movie or TV series.

The matrix power plant hack was the exception. In the movie, it's just a screen of code flying past. If you slow it down, it's a legit hack.

Trinity checks the software version, to see it hadn't been updated. She then implements a real hack that that version was vulnerable to. It resets the admin password to a default, letting her log in as admin.

the director made the show because he was tired of hacking not being done correctly in shows

Hacking is used in plot the same way that magic is. That shows how much they care about making any realism into hacking or IT.

Yeah, there was a TV show once where the plot of the episode was the theft of some new, important classified tech.

In the last scene the bad guy drops their suitcase and this important, secret tech falls out.

The prop master used vanilla, recognizable RAM chips. It annoyed me so much.
