In this 1983 film, high tech intersects with leisure pursuits when a technologically proficient teenager accidentally taps into the Defense Department's computer and unknowingly challenges it to a game of thermonuclear warfare. The distinction between reality and game playing is blurred as it becomes apparent that the computer doesn't know it's a game and the teenager doesn't know it's war.
