funny enough, I've seen all these movies. Mr robot beats all hack films, although it's a series. I strongly recommend.

Op, you need to watch the two seasons of Mr Robot if you haven't. Only Who am I comes close in terms of real life hacking scenes. Black Hat is a disappointment. Chris Hemsworth shouldn't have taken that role.

You can't summarize the day to day of an hacker in a movie.

Mr Robot 3 starts in October.
