Abstract
In the now-classic 1983 movie WarGames, teenaged hacker-extraordinaire (relatively speaking!) David Lightman hacks into the powerful military computer WOPR and accidentally sets off a chain of events that propels the world toward potential nuclear war. In the climactic final scene, David forces WOPR to play a series of tic-tac-toe games against itself to show that some games inevitably lead to no winner (just like nuclear war, get it?).
