Hacker Movies
The work
• This research seeks to identify whether or not movies are accurately portraying hackers, and the implications of that portrayal for new and non-technical managers.

Data Collection
Grounded Theory
Six Principles
A hacker movie must feature a hacker in it, It’s insufficient to have an act of hacking in the
movie, the hacker must appear.
I
Not all cyberpunk movies can automatically be considered as hacker
movies.
II
Only Science Fiction movies that feature
recognisable hacker scenarios
should be included.
III
No animated movies will be considered.
IV
No movies will be considered whose sole focus is cryptography.
V
No hacker documentaries
will be considered, only movies.
