Swordfish

Hi-tech thriller that mixes computer hacking geekery with big guns and massive stunt setpieces.

Fifteen years previously, the US Drug Enforcement Administration closed down a dummy corporation code-named Swordfish which had generated $400 million in revenues. The money, untouched for over a decade, has accrued interest and increased in value to $9.5 billion. Shear and his gang enlist the help of convicted computer hacker Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman) to steal the money from the heavily protected secret government fund. This hi-tech thriller is notable for its explosive opening scenes, intricate plot twists and top-notch cast including Halle Berry, Don Cheadle and Vinnie Jones.
