"Hackers" (1995) flying over New York City

[joesmith201212]

this is such an underrated movie, the movie is really original, sure a lot of movies try to incorporate a hacker theme, but no movie delved right into it and immerse the audience in this subculture. Still one of the greatest movies from the 90s

[hangmansjoke83]

HACK THE PLANET!!!

[FireWaypoint]

It depends ftom the place/time where it was great.

Like 80's Maimi was the druggy partyplace of the East Coast and so on.

Great movie, just watched it few days back.

AMAZING !!

[Rickey85]

The 80's were good but the 90's fucking rocked

[hyperchild95]

Is this in Mean Girls too? I was watching Hackers today and or the whole movie I was like, "This somewhere else too..."

[slippedknot99]

@hyperchild95

mortal kombat as well

[spiderwomenify]

Like the song and movie.,

[FRamirez1978]

i miss the 90s!

[DarkLordDiablos]

@FRamirez1978 You watch this mopvie now as an older adult as in early to mid 30s and wonder what happened to your life and all the plans you had back when this movie came out.

Still guess Me chills when I hear this song on either this movie or Mortal Kombat and I remember those days in the late 90s and wish I could go back to them and re-live them.

[oldrestless]

@DarkLordDiablos I hear ya but try not to be too nostalgic as it removes the fun out of the present. 90s are now nostalgic, they're history. You're old and becoming your grandpa who remembers the "good ol' days". It's crazy..

[rbolo29]

Us generation xer's grew up with the atomic bomb and the soviet union over our heads which might be why we tended to be a bit Nihilistic. This was the movie that inspired me to get into hacking for a while and virus writing but I now think it's lame to do so.

[rbolo29]

It was nice to see hollywood cater to the 'Nintendo generation' as spoken in the movie. I think this movie kind of serves as a montage for the late generation xer's.

[mobcat40]

same =), stuck at work he configuring sharepoint and deploying clients. great song

[thecamperDK]

Anonymous = Zero Cool

[KitKad]

this is epic

[NesApfieN]

JOLT COLA -- THE softdrink of the ELITE hacker. Yes, this IS a phonebooth... don't ask. Hackers may be the best movie ever made in the 1990's.

[atlanticl]

HOLY SHIT!!! The World Trade Center at 1:02 !!

[ridgedroid]

HACK THE PLANET! Just don't try hacking the federal government. Other than that, happy hacking!

[SlickRaccoon]

I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW...

[nervie83]

i love this movie..i love this song..thx 4 upload

[ridgedroid]

I once wanted to be a hacker, so I took computer engineering, then computer science, then I got a job. After I do what I do at work, I don't really want to see a computer on my free time, but do something else instead :]

[dardraa]

@ridgedroid lol im hoping to take computer engineering, how do you enjoy your job?

[doofuslarge]

0:34 FTW

[peakstate]

I always thought that scene was so cool. LOL social engineering defined.

[stopjoshing]

Good choice of lighting, colors, wardrobe, music... makes me forget that the hacking involved was actually unrealistic.. but who cares, most films have some unrealistic components to them.. this shit takes me back to when Rollerblading and PlayStation was cool!

HACKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!!! =)

[oneworldV]

[mayract]

1995 those where great times.. really, i mean if i could get back to the 90s would be soo great..

[michal7187]

Totally agree !! If I could get back in time I would change my life so much... Not do so many mistakes I made :/

[degaulle30]

This is an image of my perfect life. Flying low over cities on an endless travelling spree....in the 90s.

[AJice1980]

agreed, i miss the 90's so much.

[DudeimONyoutub3]

yeah i wished i lived the 90s as my age not a 4 year old -.-

[imjustagirl776]

I really need to get this movie again. Makes me feel old though. I was just getting out of high school when this came out.

[frvfilms]

they should make part 2

[doggpuff]

and they did few years ago :) and they also made part 3, few years ago :)

[an3sthetize]

Halcyon is one of the best electronic tracks/songs (w/e) ever. it's just so dreamy, full of space that can be filled with positive, creative thinking.

[spleenblender]

That entire movie had a great soundtrack.

[Goldie1337]

Hack the planet!

HACK THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CHIHUAHUAconda]

When they put this song in Mortal Kombat, I was super pissed off. One of my favorite tunes in a terrible movie, when the song didn't even fit...

I saw this movie the same year but I don't remember it so I'm going back to it this weekend.

hopefully it's good and it all comes back to me lol

[orinanime]

First off, the song totally fit.

The word Halcyon is a term that originates from the Greek myth of Alcyone, is used most often to mean golden or marked by peace and prosperity. It was meant to show the assumed golden age of peace winning the tournament brough about.

Second off, that movie rocked!

The sequel sucked, sure,

But that movie was awesome!!

[CHIHUAHUAconda]

First off

is an incredibly trite transition into making a point.

Thanks for reinforcing the origins of the word "halcyon".

Seeing as you clearly know the meaning of that word, you are foolish to say it fits in the movie MORTAL KOMBAT.

Oh and it's a matter of preference, and I would not prefer the Mortal Kombat over most other films, which suck to some degree, just not as bad as Mortal Kombat.

eat a dick and think before you talk

[orinanime]

Seeing as I know what the word means, and explained it's use in the scene, how does it not fit?!

"eat a dick and think before you talk"

- Wow! Really?!

You should calm down and try not being a hypocritical douche-bag, you stupid jack ass.

[CHIHUAHUAconda]

How can you describe any bit of Mortal Kombat as halcyon???

Other than maybe the "good guys" are fighting for peace.

[orinanime]

The scene it's in. As I said.

The word Halcyon is a term that originates from the Greek myth of Alcyone, is used most often to mean golden or marked by peace and prosperity.

The scene in question is the main characters arriving home after the tournament is over.

It was meant to show the assumed golden age of peace winning the tournament brough about.

[CHIHUAHUAconda]

I'm sorry we're not getting anywhere and every time I go back to this video it pops up in my "recommended videos".

I will say I disagree with it being used in that scene but whatever it's a matter of opinion.

ez

[orinanime]

I'm sorry too.

But it's not a matter of opinion. I hate when people say that in an attempt to justify whatever comes out of there mouths.

It's a matter of dictionary definition. 

Besides that. Just 'cause it's an opinion doesn't mean it can't be argued or proved wrong.

Hitler was of the opinion, the Jews needed exterminating. You sayin' because it's an opinion, he wasn't wrong?

So whatever

[CHIHUAHUAconda]

I meant it was a matter of opinion to justify whether the song was appropriate in the end of the flick or not.

That Hitler example is not similar. Faulty logic but maybe we'll save that for another time.

peace-peace

[patgroove]

There was a sequel?! Was even in theaters?!

[orinanime]

yeah. it was in theaters.

it blew royally.

[reivenlocke]

@CHIHUAHUAconda

What an elitist asshole you are and last time I checked, this was as bad a movie as MK was. Seriously, if you discount Angelina Jolie, the biggest star in the movie was fucking Shaggy.

[CHIHUAHUAconda]

@reivenlocke DING DING DING DING DING!!

[squidpants]

pretty awesome intro to the movie

[neverwasapunk16]

Hack the planet !

[daglitch2]

loved this movie!

[1987lambofgod]

HACK THE PLANET!!!<----this is not spam...if you think so, you are not very intelligent.

[sidearmsalpha]

What is the music from that leads into this song? Is this original music from Simon Boswell?

[squidpants]

see the video description, Halcyon on and on by Orbital

[sidearmsalpha]

I'm talking about the first few seconds before Halcyon On and On starts. There's a few seconds of music that aren't part of Halcyon On and On.

[thepiper420]

that;s the intro to halycon.

[wolfmoon2682]

this makes me feel old! glad this movie has meaning for other people too!

[LifeAccording2Chris]

CRASH AND BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ineedabuspass]

I think thats weird that the ending cut off with just showing New York City with the Empire State Building. Even though this was made in 1995 and it said 7 years later, there's no Twin Towers. Maybe i'm just thinking too hard, but it was a little weird :P.

[edgarssk]

interesting point...

[Jsd8675]

Its pointing north. They wouldnt have been in that shot.

[ineedabuspass]

Haha, still. Even if it shows midtown.

[ineedabuspass]

I didn't know people wore turtlenecks in 2002 :P

[1987lambofgod]

this movie was released in 95, probably filmed in 94. HACK THE PLANET! BROTHER!

[redbullbobby]

I liked it

[kppdreaming]

thank u

[birdsbeak]

They are trashing our rights! -great movie

[weezdajuice1991]

HACK THE PLANET!!! One of my all time favorite movies.

[SSW101]

HACK THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!

[freerpress0]

Halcyon and on and on song with no dialogue and the transition from year 88-95 was a great start for Hackers.

[averlumen]

This is the best video / audio shot ever in my opinion, i just LOVE it

[slinky270306]

Have to agree buddy, amazing intro for a cracking 90's film!

[hyperon1984]

cat /dev/urandom

mofo

:D

[scades93]

Thank you so much for putting this up. I'm stuck at work rebuilding a server and reconfiguring a bunch of switches and found myself really needing to hear that version of Halcyon and On.

Perfect :D

Also in hindsight, while Hackers isn't the greatest movie it's nice that Hollywood at least tried to make a buck off of something a lot of us hold dear. A shame it's not a Creative Commons released film tho. lol

Hack the planet lol.

[dydis]

i'm glad you liked it;)

[SlickRaccoon]

@scades93 I AGREE ..... ... I FORGOT MY PROBLEMS AFTER HEARING THIS SONG.
