We are going through the era of cyber fraud. Online transactions are on the rise, so online fraud, hacking, etc. are on the rise. The main reason for the increase is that most people are not aware of the intricacies of hacking. If not today, where would it be half a century ago?

The film begins with the hacking of the past. One type of shoe is known as sneakers, but in computer parlance hackers are also called sneakers.

In 19, two friends, Martin Bryce and Cosmo, hacked the university's computer network. On the evening of the blizzard, the hacking of the two friends was going on, the police arrived, but Cosmo was caught, and Martin fled.

Two decades have passed. Now running the computer security agency, he adopted the name Martin Bishop from Martin Bryce. His team included Donald Creez, the blind Irwin Emery, Carl Arbogast, who had resigned from the CIA. All of these skills combined to provide benmoon security, so many large organizations, including banks, were Martin's clients.

One day two officers came to meet him at Martin's workshop, like a garage. He assigned a job to Martin, claiming to be from the National Security Agency. The task was to steal a small box-shaped device made by the Russian mathematician Dr. Jenny. The government could not officially steal so the team came to help. The government was ready to fit in the case of 20 years ago if Martin refused. If you work, you will get money and even more benefit is that the name will be removed from the government book.

Martin began working with his girlfriend Liz. The work was very easy for the thieves. So the box was stolen when the Russian scientist came on a trip to America. The box was a kind of decoder machine. Anyone who has that box can take possession of the government system of any country. The government of any country has to dance with the box. Getting the box, Martin handed it over to Creez, a government agent.

Shortly afterwards, a Russian scientist was assassinated. Not only that, the people who handed over the box were not government men. Martin, disguised as a government official, went to work.

So who were you

Martin fired a gun at his friend Gregor's Laman, who works at the Russian embassy, ​​on suspicion. Gregor identified the two thieves who took Martin in his car. That's when the FBI arrived, killed Gregor and took Martin away. The FBI was also a fake, but they killed Gregor with Martin's gun. Martin now realizes that the artist behind the whole operation was a 40-year-old friend (or enemy) Cosmo. Cosmo, who had curly long hair in her youth, now wore a braid. The work was also done by tying a chotli.

Martin was accused of stealing a box and killing a Russian embassy staffer. The only way out was to steal a decoder from Cosmo and hand it over to the government. Where is Cosmo? Where is the box Upon investigation, it was found that Cosmo lived in a den near Dungar and the box was also there. So let's go pick up the box ... but it wasn't that easy.

There was a system of voice locks in addition to various security arrangements to enter the haunt. That is, the door would open only after hearing the voices of those who have to come and go regularly. Why copy that system? A scientist working in Adda lived a short distance away. Liz started a friendship with him, getting the necessary details. In particular, he recorded the words needed to open the door repeatedly.

It was planned that Liz would go to Martin and pick up the box as soon as she was busy with the scientist. The alarm goes off even if the box where it was was moving at a speed of more than one foot per second. Many such knots were arranged. But whatever the challenge, the decoder had to be lifted.

Eventually the theft process began. Liz was talking to the scientist. But he suspected that there was a disturbance in the place. So he took the lease and reached the base. Informed Cosmo and took him along too. The box was in the chamber but by then Martin was hiding. All came out believing that all is well. But this time in the conversation Cosmo became suspicious of Liz. So Cosmo went to check in the chamber again, the box was missing!

Martin was caught before the theft was over.

It doesn't end there.

The next interesting sequence of events is like watching a movie.

Extremely interesting and up-and-down story, actors like Robert Redford-Ben Kingsley, suspense-thrill-comedy .. all made the film an extraordinary success. Earned four times more than the budget.

The film became significant in another way as well. At the time of release, the journalists were given press material i.e. information, photos etc. in the modern technology of that time. That technology is considered very old today because it is called a floppy disk. Another thing is that the decoder machine in the film is the encryption technology used everywhere today.
