WarGames [4K UHD Blu-ray]

"Shall we play a game?" With this enduring line begins 1983’s WarGames, one of the most exciting and prescient sci-fi thrillers to come out of the ’80s, tautly directed by John Badham and featuring star-making performances from Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. Broderick plays David Lightman, a bright high-schooler who spends most of his free time on his home computer, looking for the latest video games. But when he dials into a program called Global Thermonuclear War, he soon realizes he’s unwittingly hacked into the WOPR, the Department of Defense’s brand-new supercomputer, setting a sequence of events in motion that could ignite World War III. Lightman and his friend Jennifer find themselves in a desperate race against the clock to find the WOPR’s designer, the reclusive computer genius Dr Stephen Falken, to prevent nuclear Armageddon.

Featuring strong supporting performances by Dabney Coleman and Barry Corbin, WarGames was nominated for three Academy Awards. Its premise, described by Roger Ebert as “a masterstroke”, remains disturbingly relevant in the 21st century.
