27 Behind the Scenes Polaroids From the 1995 Cinematic Masterpiece “Hackers”

I love bad movies - truly, deeply, unironically. The worse they are, the more likely I am to finish them and then immediately start evangelizing about their accidental genius. Why? Because bad movies are educational. They show you exactly what not to do. When a movie nails it, you barely notice the craft - but when it fails? Oh, you notice. You notice everything.

And few cinematic disasters are as legendary as Hackers (1995). It's the holy grail of 90s cyber cringe. A movie about hacking written by someone who definitely thinks the internet is powered by 3D graphics and rollerblades. It's neon, it's nonsensical, and it's absolutely perfect.

These 27 behind-the-scenes polaroids are a time capsule from the making of this chaotic masterpiece - complete with baby Angelina Jolie (wearing a floppy disk for some reason), vinyl trench coats, and the kind of earnest tech jargon that makes you want to hug your modem. Hack the planet!
