*Hackers* is a 1995 techno-thriller directed by Iain Softley, featuring a cast led by Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie, centered on rebellious high school hackers entangled in cybercrime.
Set against the backdrop of the early Internet age, it channels the anti-establishment ethos of the Hacker Manifesto, celebrating curiosity over conformity. The film’s distinctive visual identity was shaped by costume designer Roger K. Burton, who drew inspiration from punk, fetish, and underground club scenes to give each character a striking subcultural flair. Though it flopped initially at the box office, *Hackers* has since gained a passionate cult following, cherished for its bold style and digital idealism.
