FAQ for
Hackers (1995) More at IMDbPro »

No. The movie "Takedown" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159784/,) a fictionalized version of the story of real-life hacker Kevin Mitnick, is often erroneously called "Hackers 2" in bootlegs, but the two films are completely unrelated.

People also get confused because three soundtrack albums were released for "Hackers," and these albums were called "Hackers," "Hackers 2," and "Hackers 3." There was no movie called "Hackers 2" or "Hackers 3," just the three volumes of the soundtrack.
