Angela Bennett is a computer expert working as a programmer and stumbles across some government secrets and then finds herself being targetted by an unknown enemy and when everything is saved online it can be changed …
Angela is so consumed by her job working on a computer that she doesn’t actually know many people in real life and the only person she really sees away from the internet and computer programming is her mother who has memory problems. Her main friends and people she communicates with are online, and quite frankly that would come back to haunt her.
When she gets involved in some rather complex issues all related to a computer programme that has a glitch in it. The fact that she even knows about this is about to put her life in danger, and becomes a total nightmare. The people behind this manage to change her name and everything online and with no-one in her life to be able to confirm that she is actually Angela Bennett. The new identity has her wanted by police and attempting to get onto a computer to change things back becomes difficult.
It has enough to keep you interested and quite a trip down memory lane when it comes to the ways that computers used to work and look. Sandra Bullock is as engaging as ever and you cannot help but support her and want to see her succeed.
Ahead of it’s time is certainly something that must be said about The Net, I mean given the release year of 1995 and the fact that around that time and even years later people were just starting to get at home PC’s but the internet would come for the majority a few years later. Also if you are a certain age (young) you will have no clue what a floppy disk is, I would say it’s what came before CDs but that probably isn’t all that helpful either. USB sticks might be the better than to then mention/compare them to?
