WarGames back in theaters after 25 years

Temp-image_1_1

I when I was still young, I watched this movie WarGames in betamax. (There were no VCDs or DVDs that time).

And after 25 years, WarGames is back in selected theaters nationwide on Thursday, July 24th.

WarGames is a 1983 suspense film written by Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes and directed by John Badham. The film starred Matthew Broderick in his second major film role, and featured Ally Sheedy, Dabney Coleman, John Wood, and Barry Corbin. The movie was a box office success, costing US$12 million but grossing over $74 million after five months in the United States. With a cost of $1 million, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) set was the most expensive single movie set ever built up to that time.

This is a one-night-only event, and will include never-before-seen interviews with film’s creators and the cast (including Broderick and Ally Sheedy) and crew on how the movie was ahead of its time and its relevance today. So grab a ticket now and be the one of the few to get a sneak peek at the making of the sequel – WarGames: The Dead Code.
