I’ll always get a kick out of any movie that has hacking in it. Going all the way back to War Games and Hackers, there’s a certain entertainment value in seeing all the ways a computer can wreak havoc. And with how much technology has advanced, the game has certainly changed. Wardriver gets into the concept of using a car to drive around and access unsecured Wi-Fi Networks. It’s pretty fascinating, and the new film with Dane DeHaan shows all the ways that it can go wrong. Check out our review HERE!
I spoke to Dane about the film and the level of prep that he did to become a believable hacker. This was Dane’s debut as a producer so he gets into why this was the right project to finally take the leap with. I’ve been a fan of the actor since Chronicle (and even have a soft spot for Amazing Spider-man 2) so this was an absolute joy. You can check out this full chat in the video above.
Wardriver plot:
Meet Cole. He is a ‘wardriver.’ Played by Dane DeHaan, Cole stealthy navigates the city streets driving around mapping WIFI networks in hopes to take advantage of and hack into bank accounts. To him, he steals from companies, not people. He convinces himself no one gets hurt, until black-market tech predator Oscar (Mamoudou Athie) forces him into a million-dollar cyber-heist where every line of code could be his last.
Wardriver releases to theaters on March 20th and on VOD on March 27th, 2026.
