Picture this. It’s 1969. Two young hackers, Martin and Cosmo, have broken into a government facility. They’re cocky little idealists but they’re principled, too; they are using a computer to redistribute wealth from evil to worthwhile causes. But they’re feeling peckish. Martin ducks out for pizza but as he comes back the police arrive … so he runs, leaving Cosmo to his fate.
We then jump forward several decades. Martin (Robert Redford) has changed his name and now works as a specialist helping corporations test their readiness against security breaches, having turned his law-breaking habits into a viable career. He’s also assembled a crack squad of intelligence industry leftovers and lawbreaking ne’er-do-wells. And, within minutes, this group of misfits is thrust into a conspiracy bigger than they ever dreamed was possible.
