Editorial
A daring blend of apocalyptic paranoia and Spielbergian family adventure, John Badham’s nuclear romp brought computer hacking (and Matthew Broderick!) to public attention. User-friendly in its approach to genre and intelligently satirical, this well-calibrated studio film is a Cold War classic.
