Champney Family Associate Professor of Art, Steve Ciampaglia, will introduce the 1983 Cold War video game film, WarGames. Question and Answer session will follow the screening.

A teenage hacker (Matthew Broderick) unwittingly accesses a military supercomputer programmed to simulate nuclear warfare, bringing the world to the brink of World War III. Blending suspense, humor, and technological thrills, WarGames is a cautionary tale about the perils of automation and the blurred lines between virtual and real-world consequences. The film remains a seminal work in the techno-thriller genre and continues to resonate in the digital age.

Payment is required in the external registration. Students $9/Others $12
