New World Disorder (1999)
Nomination Year: 2008
SYNOPSIS: Two computer programmers create an unbreakable encryption
system. Unfortunately, no sooner do they finish than the
company they work for is held up by thieves who steal a
fortune in microchips and all the data off the corporate
mainframe, igniting a chase between the criminals and various
others to secure the data. Investigating the theft are
computerphobic homicide detective Rutger Hauer and a beautiful
young FBI computer crimes agent. Hijinks ensue. At least, for
values of "hijinks" that aren't funny, romantic, or otherwise
in any way entertaining.
