A 1983 movie about a young teenage hacker who accidentally hacks into the Pentagon's war computer (the unlikely-sounding WOPR) and, thinking he is playing a computer game, almost starts World War III.
"Strange game... the only winning move is not to play." -- WOPR, learning the moral of the story
There's a computer game based on the movie. Only postmodernism can do this! Well, that or heavy drinking by ad-men; the two are often hard to tell apart.
Also a 1969 ten episode Doctor Who, only the latter half of which features large numbers of guards in rubber wetsuits and cardboard goggles.
