THE NET (1995)


Alot of people forget about this intense little techno thriller with a fierce performance from Sandra Bullock (Speed). She stars as Angela Bennett a young woman whose a programmer and becomes entangled in a sinister computer conspiracy in which they are manipulating people's information to control the outcomes. The plot is still relevant and although the tech doesn't hold up well, the drama and thrills do. Sexy Jeremy Northam (Emma) and funnyman Dennis Miller (Bordello of Blood) also star. Director Irwin Winkler (Life as a House) executes the proceedings with an an edge of your seat, sweaty palm inducing intensity. Although it's not wholly original it's damn entertaining.

Budget: $22m
Domestic Box Office: $51m
