Description

Sandra Bullock, Dennis Miller and Jeremy Northam star in this hit thriller about a computer expert whose life is "erased" by a computer conspiracy. A freelance software analyst, Angela Bennett, is inadvertently drawn into a dangerous conspiracy when a client asks her to de-bug a CD-ROM game. Soon the client turns up dead and Angela is next on the hit-list. After the assassins obliterate her official identity, Angela realizes hers is not the only life being destroyed on the Net. Like the best Hitchcock, THE NET builds tension to unbearable heights until "this edge of your seat nail-biter explodes with suspense. Sandra Bullock is sensational." (Jeanne Wolf, Jeanne Wolf's Hollywood)

    This movie is metaphorical to today’s online computing experiences. The gate keeper can be compared to today’s social media companies or popular search engines that now offer everything from you email address to your home security. This movie was beyond is time and makes more sense in 2019 than it did in the 90’s. Sandra Bullock is great and convincing as Angela Bennett- a computer programmer who wants to get her identity back after it was ruined and switch when she finds a big tech companies real motive to be everywhere (to control our votes, ideas and spending habits)

  • Good Movie

    Very interesting, but the movie seems a little too long for what is happening in the movie. Great please watch you’ll find it interesting and fascinating.

    I've always hoped that Sandra Bullock would make a sequel to this film. The world has changed so much since the first film came out. And, that means there's much more lovely mayhem that can be done! (I'm hoping the SCREAM franchise will tap into that too someday. If you've seen those films, you know that various forms of media and technology were always part of the story.) And while I'm at it, how about a SPEED sequel that takes place on a modern 300 mph HIGH SPEED TRAIN! Thanks. : )

    This was one of the first movies to address high tech identity theft and the "geek working from home" model. That she was a female geek, made this movie even kewler. Don't know why Rottemtomatoes has to be such haters.

    if it would have come out today it would be a blockbuster hit! Also, funny to look back and see what things were like in the early 90's.

    I saw this movie last night and it was great! This is probably the most suspenseful movie I've ever seen. The plot was good, the actors were superb, and it is totally worth $10 (but I agree older movies should cost less). Sandra Bullock did a fantastic job (:
