Synopsis | Like all of us, Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock) lives in the age of information. Every trace of her existence is computerized.Everything about her is encoded somewhere on a complex network of information. It's something Angela never thought about -- untilthe day she was deleted. With the explosion of technological advances in the last few years, The Net is a story virtually torn from today's headlines. It takesplace in a world in which anything, from ordering a pizza to retrieving records from half-way across the planet, can be accomplishedthrough the vast and complicated map of phone lines and computers known as the Internet; a world in which, with the rightknowledge and the right program, a good hacker can log into remote computers and alter any information they choose: flight plans,medical and criminal records, top secret government information, even someone's identity. |
