In Seattle, the teenager David (Matthew Broderick) is a lazy but bright student that prefers to hack and change his grades in the high-school computer than study. One day, David's best friend Jennifer (Ally Sheedy) is with him and he decides to hack the toy company Protovision seeking new games and he accidentally connects the War Operation Plan Response system in a computer located at the North American Aerospace (NORAD) at Birmingham using the password Joshua that was the name of the son of its creator, the deceased scientist Stephen Falken (John Wood). David challenges the computer to play a Global Thermonuclear War game between USA and the Soviet Union. Sooner he realizes that the computer is playing for real and the United States of America is changing its condition to DEFCON 1 in a game with no winners. "Wargames" is one of my favorite films of the 80's and despite the Cold War, it is nostalgic to watch again a period with little violence in the world and how life was easier, flying in a plane is just as one good example that we can see in this film. Hollywood still was able to make good movies based on great original stories. Matthew Broderick was an amazing promising actor with "Ladyhawke" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and the hacker David is ahead of time. Ally Sheedy shows her charm, lovely smile and a great chemistry with Broderick. "Wargame" has a witty and funny story with a magnificent message in times of Cold War that is highlighted in the very end: "The Only Winning Move (in a nuclear war) Is not to Play". Fortunately most of the Powers that Be of the world has finally understood this message with the end of the Cold War. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Jogos de Guerra" ("War Games")

WarGames is a 1983 American science fiction thriller teen movie starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy and directed by John Badham. The movie follows a computer hacker named David Lightman (Broderick) who breaks into a NORAD war games simulation computer that he thinks is really the computer for a computer game company. Lightman begins a series of events that could start World War III. The movie was nominated for three Academy Awards and was a big hit. It continues to be popular.
David Lightman (Broderick) is a smart high school student and computer hacker that at first limits himself to changing his and a girl whom he likes a lot, Jennifer's (Sheedy) grades from failing to passing grades: Lightman being smart but not motivated at school. A little while later David uses his IMSAI 8080 computer to dial many phone numbers and finds a backdoor into a NORAD war games simulation computer called WOPR (nicknamed the Whopper). At first David is looking for new computer games to download and play and believes that the WOPR is actually the computer of a company that makes new computer games. After finding a list of games on the computer decides to play a game. WOPR (who is an Artificial Intelligence computer) asks David for a password and after doing some research on the computer's creator Professor Steven Falken he guesses that the password is named after the creator's dead son, Joshua. After logging in using the correct password, W.O.P.R. believes David to actually be Dr. Falken whom the computer had believed to be dead. The computer (which David now calls "Joshua") asks him if he would like to play a game. David selects the game "Global Thermonuclear War". Doing so starts off a series of events that will end up taking the World into World War III unless it is stopped.
This is the premise of Wargames, a 1983 teen thriller directed by John Badham. The film kick-started the careers of stars Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy and was the fifth-highest grossing film in America that year. Today it is a remarkable time capsule, expressing in a most entertaining fashion one of the greatest social fears of the 1980s: thermonuclear war.
Despite the competition WarGames showed remarkable resilience, holding a Top 10 position in American cinemas for nine weeks. Its final domestic gross was just shy of US$80 million dollars, making it a hugely profitable release. It finished up the fifth-most popular movie of 1983, beaten only by Return of the Jedi, Terms of Endearment, Flashdance and Trading Places. Superman III, whose release so concerned MGM/UA staff, was relegated to 12th place.
Let's take a look at what fonts were used in movie posters in the 1980s. I've made a Photoshop template with 80s text effects that you can download for free. Please note that you will also need to have the fonts installed for the text styles to work. If you don't know how to do it, I've made a nice tutorial on how to install a font in Photoshop.If you prefer online text effects you can check outh this cool 80s Font that you can use for free. Another awesome font is this 80s Online Text Effect which is also free.
John Howard Carpenter is an American filmmaker, screenwriter and composer. Although Carpenter has worked with various movie genres, he is associated most commonly with horror, action, and science fiction films of the 1970s and 1980s.Carpenter had a preference for Kurt Russel and the Albertus font casting the former in a lot of his movies and making the latter one of his trademarks.You can download the free version of the Albertus font from WFonts and the commercial Albertus font from MyFonts.His films and soundtracks made and performed for his films were such a big influence on 80s culture that I decided to dedicate a separate section in this post.Here are some "carpenteresque" movies and some info about 80s fonts used in their titles or credits.
If you are an independent film producer and want to createa a professional movie poster, you can get a very affordable online movie poster credits template that's editable online in MockoFun. You can change the text and fonts and then download it as a PNG overlay movie credits poster with transparent background.
We looked at 80s fonts in movies, video games and books. But, perhaps one of the most defining characteristic of the 80s was music. I've looked at several music albums to try and gather what fonts did the 80s album covers use.
Made famous by the movie Back to the Future, the DeLorean DMC-12 made for the American market between 1981 and 1983 had a very distinct logo. Using the Rustproof Body font, here's my renditinon of the DMC DeLorean logo and grid.
Growing up in the 80s for me was mostly about watching movies on my family video VCR. The VCR OSD Mono font was the VHS VCR font that was used on most models. I believe it's still used on handy cams and even on digital cameras. It has a distinct look which I tried to capture in my VHS overlay mockup for Photohshop that you can download for free:
The Drive movie uses a font closely resembling Dancing Script OT font for it's title and credits. A fan created an alternative Drive movie poster in the "OutRun" design style. The poster became super popular and was adopted as an official movie poster.Download the 80s font for Drive 2011: Road Rage (FREE)
The poster on the right was made using the free 80s Retro Poster Photoshop action from Photoshop Supply
As for the other design elements of OutRun design nothing is really certain. Here are just some probable sources of the perspective light grid:The movie TRON makes heavy use of the perspective grid. It's basically the foundation of the VR world depicted in the movie.
The old vector monitors of arcade games made heavy use of glowing grids.
The opening credits of the movie Black Hole from 1979 make heavy use of computer generated perspective grids
Also in the famous Luke vs. Death Star scene in Star Wars, Luke initially uses a computer grid display targeting system, only to put it aside when Obi-Wan Kenobi tells him "Use the force Luke!"
There's a very good article by Richard McKenna about how the perspective grid defined 1980s futurism, so read more if you are interested
WarGames is the best start for the beginners of the genre of Hacker Movies. This 1983 movie created a big impact on people and shaped the initial public opinion of hackers. WarGames, which stars Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy, and John Wood, showcases a young hacker who finds a backdoor in military central computer and things take surprising turns. It has a gripping story with just so much accuracy in the hacking scenes.
This movie inpired GTA games through its tactics of stealing automobiles. Although the MINI Coopers are really the stars of The Italian Job, Seth Green in this movie plays Lyle- a hacker among a group of elite thieves, who is able to manipulate traffic signals, among other devices, that make this grand theft possible in the most unbeleievable of ways.
The video has an ominous, droning soundtrack and a digital map design straight out of the 1983 movie "WarGames." The Cold War-era movie, in which a young Matthew Broderick accidentally triggers a nuclear war, "was exactly the reference point," simulation designer Alex Wellerstein told Insider.

In July 1983, Nintendo released their Famicom (Family Computer) system in Japan, which was their first attempt at a cartridge-based video game console. The system was a booming success, selling over 500,000 units within two months. The console was also technically superior and inexpensive when compared to its competitors, priced at about $100 USD. However, after a few months of the consoles selling well, Nintendo received complaints that some Famicom consoles would freeze when the player attempted to play certain games. The fault was found in a malfunctioning chip and Nintendo decided to recall all Famicon units currently on store shelves, which cost them almost half a million USD. 2ff7e9595c
