Watch it tonight—WarGames is a taut, intelligent thriller that kicks off with a killer premise and never lets up. This is 80s sci-fi at its finest: genuinely suspenseful, surprisingly thoughtful about nuclear brinkmanship, and Matthew Broderick is perfectly cast as the cocky kid who almost ends the world. It's a genuine classic that still holds up.
