Fast forward seven years: Dade's mother, now divorced and with full custody of Dade (Creator/JonnyLeeMiller), moves them both to New York for a fresh start. Dade struggles to make friends, but ends up falling in with a new hacking crowd, including Phantom Phreak (Renoly Santiago), Cereal Killer (Creator/MatthewLillard), Lord Nikon (Creator/LaurenceMason)... and Joey (Jesse Bradford). Not long after, Joey, the kid of the group, breaks into a supercomputer at Ellingson, a large oil and mineral conglomerate. In a ContrivedCoincidence, he downloads part of a worm program -- one created by the crooked head of IT Security for Ellingson, Eugene "the Plague" Belford (Creator/FisherStevens), himself a hacker gone pro. Belford is using the worm to quietly embezzle many millions of dollars from Ellingson.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Plague tries to recruit Dade to his side on multiple occasions, though it's ambiguous just how much he meant his offer and how much he was just trying to get the information off of Dade.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Oddly subverted in the movie's first scenes -- despite a seven-year hiatus in his computer use, Dade is effortlessly able to start hacking again when his court prohibition expires on his 18th birthday, as if nothing about computer technology had changed between 1988 and 1995.
