Computer Weirdness in Movies

- A hacker can get into the most sensitive computer in the world before intermission and guess the secret password in two tries.


- Any PERMISSION DENIED has an OVERRIDE function. (See "Demolition Man" and countless others)


- Complex calculations and loading of huge amounts of data will be accomplished in under three seconds. Movie modems transmit data at a speed of two gigabytes per second.


- When the power plant/missile site/whatever overheats, all the control panels will explode, as will the entire building.


- If you display a file on the screen and someone deletes the file, it also disappears from the screen. (e.g., "
Clear and Present Danger")


- If a disk has got encrypted files, you are automatically asked for a password when you try to access it.



- No matter what kind of computer disk it is, it'll be readable by any system you put it into. All application software is usable by all computer platforms.



- The more high-tech the equipment, the more buttons it has ("Aliens"). However, everyone must have been highly trained, because the buttons aren't labeled.



- Most computers, no matter how small, have reality-defying three-dimensional, real-time, photo-realistic animated graphics capability.



- Laptops, for some strange reason, always seem to have amazing real-time video phone capabilities and the performance of a CRAY Y-MP.



- Whenever a character looks at a VDU, the image is so bright that it projects itself onto his/her face. (See "Alien," "2001")
