Blackhat

In Michael Mann’s 2015 cyber-thriller Blackhat, Chris Hemsworth trades Thor’s hammer for a keyboard as a jacked, brilliant hacker sprung from prison to hunt a mysterious “black hat” cyber-terrorist whose real-world-grade code has already triggered a nuclear-plant explosion and threatens global chaos. Despite a $70 million budget lavished on stunning global locations, hyper-authentic hacking sequences (vetted by ex-cons and NSA consultants), and Mann’s trademark razor-sharp visuals and brutal shootouts, the film bombed hard—making just $20 million worldwide—thanks to a thin script, Hemsworth’s eyebrow-raising casting as an MIT super-nerd, and a premise that felt too clinical and ahead-of-its-time for 2015 audiences; ten years later, with cyber threats now daily headlines, Mann’s prescient, gorgeous misfire is finally getting its vindication as a cult techno-thriller that looks better with every new data breach.
