It has one of my favorite social engineering scenes in any movie where Redford's character tries to gain building entry.
Really a great movie--must-see.
Another great Redford movie that's hacker-adjacent is _All the
President's Men_.

Of course, I meant CONDOR
EfAo Robert Redford has died. He starred as the lead in *Sneakers* (1992), one of
the greatest hacker-films ever made. The story follows a Tiger Team of security
experts & hackers, each with their own special skill, who are hired for what >seems a routine job only to discover itrCOs part of a much bigger conspiracy.

Sneakers was legitimately a really, really good movie.
