    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The operating system Angela uses throughout the movie is Mac OS 7.
    • Goofs
      When searching for Praetorian, Angela searches for the owner of IP address: 24.75.345.200 This address would be impossible on the Internet because no subnet address can be greater than 255. This has been reported as a goof, but it was surely deliberate by the filmmakers. It would be very poor practice to show a genuine, usable IP address, because the present or future owner of that address would undoubtedly be subject to massive flooding, ranging from spam to actual malicious hacking attempts. This writer noted the same fact at "Swordfish" in the Trivia section, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244244/trivia.
    • Quotes

      Angela: Just think about it. Our whole world is sitting there on a computer. It's in the computer, everything: your, your DMV records, your, your social security, your credit cards, your medical records. It's all right there. Everyone is stored in there. It's like this little electronic shadow on each and everyone of us, just, just begging for someone to screw with, and you know what? They've done it to me, and you know what? They're gonna do it to you.

    Sandra rocks!
    This awesome, action-packed little gem, is one of my all-time favorite movies!! Sandra Bullock, once again, outdoes herself in this wicked film all about the Internet and the taking-over of people's lives.

    In 'The Net', Bullock stars as Angela Bennett, a computer-whizz, who while on holiday, encounters a dangerous man, who steals her wallet... and her life.

    Soon, the real Angela Bennett disappears, and an ex-con, takes on her identity, swapping her life for Angelas!

    Of course, Sandy isn't the type to take this kinda thing lying down - and all on her own, she fights hard to get back the life they took away from her.

    A wicked film - that'll leave you breathless for start to finish!! 9/10

    FAQ7

    • Why did they delete her identity? Why go through all that trouble?
    • Didn't Angela's temporary visa have her real address on it?
    • Who was the man at the beginning that killed himself?
