A 80’s teenager, bored by traditional high school subjects like biology but fascinated by computers, accidentally taps into the Pentagon’s top-secret computer…the USA’s NORAD system. He starts what he innocently believes is a computer game called “Global Thermonuclear War,” but the “game” is real. The Pentagon’s best minds cannot shut down or reprogram the supercomputer that is readying a missile attack against the USSR, and thereby unleash Armageddon. The teen and his girlfriend attempt to aid the helpless Pentagon and, in a frantic race against a ticking “doomsday clock,” try to persuade the computer to end the “game.”

You don't need good grades to get into college.
You don't need a high-school diploma to get into college except maybe the ivy league. The University wants your money.
Learn this lesson kid (if you're an average student)… there's even dopey students in college
A Bit outdated But Still A Concept with Relevancy.
IT Reflects a Time of American Military superiority unlike Nowadays.

Same with them silly video games: it's best not to play.
This is the best free movie on YouTube. Hands down
Anyone remember toll calls?
So who's up for a game of chess?
More than just a movie…
lots and lots and more of morals.
Even evolution…
just like Joshua going through codes
Nature had to do the same to accomodate Nature…
Silly huh!

the directives
the operations

billions of very complicated organisms

Ferris Bueller v. Skynet who wins?
Been a long time but I remember this movie and it always reminds me of Stanislav Petrov. If you don't know who that is you owe it to him and yourself to look him up. A real hero who saved the world.
remember you told me to tell you when you were acting rudely and insensitively?
you're doing it right now. -neckbeard busting since 1983.
I wish we could have a WOPR instead of a president, we would have been safer!??

One of the few good YouTube movies but I was hoping for the computer to kill everything because it would live on
Not smart enough to be skynet ?, the next computer will be the big mac!
Smoking OR NOT smoking lol
Best hacker movie EVER. This movie made politicians believe you could launch missiles by whistling launch codes over phone line. Just ask Kevin Mitnick.
Look at Seattle without tweaker-zombies everywhere!
I graduated with a computer science degree in 1982, the year they were filming the movie, and had already written 3 working game programs myself. This had all the best tech of the time. I've loved this one for near 40 years.
Oh! 70s and 80s my wonderful years!
A Classic among Classics.
