Plot.
The US Air Force has decided to change their missile strike planning and command
procedure from a human directed one, where in simulations many officers were
unwilling to "turn the key" upon order, to an intelligent computer process, which
takes that fallible human factor out of the equation. This change has its
supporters, such as NORAD chief engineer John McKittrick who suggested it, and
its detractors, such as Air Force General Beringer. The system chosen is called
the War Operation Plan Response, or WOPR for short, developed by brilliant but
now deceased scientist Stephen Falken, who programmed the system to learn
continually through game simulations. Meanwhile, David Lightman, an intelligent
but academically unmotivated Seattle based high school student, is a computerwhiz.
In trying to hack into a video game software company, he unknowingly hacks into
WOPR using one of the listed games, Falken's Maze, as the path to discovering the
system's back door password, Joshua, the name of Stephen Falken's son who died at
age five. David and his new friend, popular but equally unmotivated student
Jennifer Mack, believe he's hacked into a games company and they start to play
the most intriguing game listed, namely Global Thermonuclear War. David and
Jennifer soon realize that what they are doing is not a game when news of
simulated attacks on the US, exactly the type David and Jennifer plotted in the
game, hits the media. David believes he's in even more trouble when Joshua calls
him back, still playing the game, with its ultimate goal of winning. WOPR or
Joshua, in playing the game, is still simulating Soviet attacks on the US, which
Beringer believes to be real and who orders appropriate responses against the
Soviets. As the authorities close in on David, with people like McKittrick
believing him to be a spy, David tries to enlist the help of the one person who
knows Joshua's end goal and can probably stop Joshua from achieving that goal,
while he needs to elude capture by the authorities.
