News Summary

• 1983’s WarGames, which I recently rewatched with my YouTube TV subscription, is truly one of my favorite ‘80s movies.
• The movie stars Matthew Broderick as a high schooler with early hacking skills and Ally Sheedy as his new girlfriend, who find themselves in the middle of a situation that could lead to World War III.
• That premise piqued the interest of no less than the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, and eventually led to new national security directives and formal legislation.
