Event
Before he was Ferris Bueller, Matthew Broderick goaded an artificial intelligence into almost unleashing World War III as a teenage hacker in WarGames, the 1983 Cold War classic.
Join Future Tense, Kevin Bankston, and Malka Older to discuss the movie and how the film impacted early D.C. policy debates around cybersecurity and computer crime.
