I thought the server tech/visualization they used in the movie is kinda cheesy, but the rebellious attitude and culture influenced me more than anything back then. And the soundtrack is awesome
It did also get me interested into hacking and computers though, and I ended up getting a networking degree and using none of that knowledge because I ended up becoming a software developer.
And I also gained a huge crush on Angelina Jolie from that movie
The only thing I don't like about hackers is Angelina Jolies odd british voice over line
"I hope you don't screw like you type"
Other than that - the style, the music, the cheesy vfx, the plot - it just grabbed me all those 25 years ago and it never let go. I didn't end up going into the tech field, pulled more of an SLC Punk on that front... but it did get me into computers for sure.
Also +1 for big time crush.
