David Letterman (played by Matthew Broderick) is a genius boy who devotes all his spare time to computer games. One day, he searched and found an internet computer. After a simple cracking, he started to play a game called "Global Thermonuclear War", a game that simulates a world war.
But David didn't know that what was hidden behind the "global thermonuclear war" was actually the US military's War Operations Plan Response System (WOPR). This classified system controls the weapons of the U.S. military, and the "Global Thermonuclear War" game launched by David has caused the system to automatically prepare to launch a nuclear bomb!
The Third World War was about to break out, and the armies of all countries were ready, and David had to act. He wanted to use his hacking technology to stop computers from launching nuclear bombs and stop all of this.

WarGames quotes

  • Sgt. Schneider: So what, do you think you kids own this place?

    David Lightman: Oh, I was, uh, I was- I was just looking around.

    Sgt. Schneider: You know you're not supposed to leave the group, don't you?

    David Lightman: Yes.

    Sgt. Schneider: So why don't you get back there!

    [the Staff Sergeant shoves David roughly towards the departing tour group]

    David Lightman: OK. Excuse me.

    Sgt. Schneider: Go on.

    David Lightman: Thank you very much, sir.

  • Captain Knewt: Punch up number five, let me see what you have.

    Radar Analyst Kirkland: Yes, sir.

    [flips a switch; a map of Soviet submarine deployments appears on screen]

    Radar Analyst Kirkland: Twenty-two Typhoon-class submarines departing Petropavlovsk, turning south-bound at Nordkapp. Bearing: zero-nine-*five* degrees.

    Captain Knewt: Sergeant, I hope you like vodka.

    Radar Analyst Kirkland: Yes, sir. I just hope they don't make me eat none of them damn fish eggs.

    Major Daves: [hands General Beringer a report] Sir, the Soviets are denying any increase in their submarine deployment. They want to know what the hell we're doing provoking them.

    General Beringer: They're full of shit. We know they're down there. We'll blow their ass out of the water.
