In the mid-'90s, receiving an email was novel, symbolizing the onset of digital culture. Films like Disclosure and Hackers depicted this transformation, focusing on the internet's potential and risks. With a significant portion of America still unfamiliar with email or the internet, movies from that era, such as The Net starring Sandra Bullock, were ahead of their time in foreshadowing the future of technology. Although not all were box office hits, they have gained cult status, reflecting the dramatic changes in society and technology over the last three decades.
"The white-hot novelty of electronic mail is preserved in amber by a ridiculous 1994 film: reverse sexual-harassment thriller Disclosure."
"America Online had terraformed it for normies, and Netscape's landmark IPO in 1995 began fueling the frenzy of the dot-com boom."
