The picture are still ghost with the idea of someone hacking into the mainframe . Or , to be more specific,“hacking the mainframe”is still a commodious but lazy secret plan equipment that allow character discover vital expository backstory , or hightail it a seemingly unavoidable situation .

And everything from The Matrix to Goldeneye has been guilty of it . For shame Hollywood , when will you get with the times and set forth using password / personal ID breaches instead ? [ SlacktoryviaBuzzfeed ]
