Join us for a special evening celebrating a cult classic of digital entertainment history!

Join us before the movie for a short, fun trivia presentation exploring behind-the-scenes facts, historical context, and surprising connections between WarGames and the early days of cybersecurity. Whether you’re a tech nerd, movie buff, or 80s nostalgia fan, you’ll learn something new before the film begins!

Then we start a nostalgic night of 80s tech, tension, and teenage hacking at the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (The MADE)! We're screening WarGames (1983), a groundbreaking sci-fi thriller that helped shape how a generation viewed computers, artificial intelligence, and digital warfare.

Follow high schooler David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) as he stumbles into a military supercomputer and nearly starts World War III—all from the comfort of his bedroom. With themes of Cold War paranoia, ethical tech use, and digital mischief, WarGames is more relevant than ever.

Admission is free! Donations are welcome to support The MADE’s mission to preserve video game history and digital culture.
