Swordfish (2001)

Action, Crime, Thriller.

Swordfish is a American crime thriller film directed by Dominic Sena and starring John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle, Vinnie Jones and Sam Shepard. The film centers on Stanley Jobson, an ex-con and computer hacker who is targeted for recruitment into a bank robbery conspiracy because of his formidable hacking skills.

Swordfish was a slight box office success but was negatively received by critics upon release, although it has garnered somewhat of a cult following.

Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman) is a cyber-hacker who has become notorious for infecting the FBI’s Carnivore program with a computer virus. Stanley’s parole forbids him from accessing the internet and computers while his ex-wife Melissa, an alcoholic and part-time porn star, has issued a restraining order against him. This also prevents him from seeing his only daughter Holly.

Ginger Knowles (Halle Berry), Stanley’s new girlfriend, persuades him to work for Gabriel Shear (John Travolta), who threatens him into cracking a secure U.S. D.O.D. server. After the hack, Gabriel offers Jobson $10 million to program a multi-headed worm, a “hydra”, to siphon $9.5 billion from government slush funds.
