💔 Robert Redford has died. He starred as the lead in *Sneakers* (1992), one of
the greatest hacker-films ever made. The story follows a Tiger Team of security
experts & hackers, each with their own special skill, who are hired for what
seems a routine job only to discover it’s part of a much bigger conspiracy.

🎬 *Sneakers* is a cult classic among #Hackers & fans: it captures the teamwork,
tension, and moral ambiguity of hacking long before those topics were
mainstream.

Sad day for Hacker culture...

It has one of my favorite social engineering scenes in any movie where
Redford's character tries to gain building entry.

Really a great movie--must-see.

Another great Redford movie that's hacker-adjacent is _All the
President's Men_.

Sneakers was legitimately a really, really good movie.

I am going to have to pull this out and watch it again I think. I 
haven't seen it in many years
