What happens when you mix cryptography, heists, social engineering, and a dash of early '90s tech paranoia? You get **Sneakers**—a movie that might be more relevant today than it was in 1992. In this episode, we break down the film’s tech, its realism (or lack thereof), and the undeniable truth that **people are always the weakest security link**. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about the tech—it’s about **People, Process, Technology**, in that order.
Along the way, we take some delightful detours, including a discussion of **Tim Curry chewing scenery in *Legend***, whether a Braille Playboy was a real thing (spoiler: it was), and why the best security measures can be defeated with a birthday cake and some good old-fashioned social engineering.
So, grab your popcorn and your best anagram-solving skills, and let’s dive into the world of Sneakers—a movie that understood the power of ones and zeros long before our social feeds did. Oh, and if you’re planning to crawl around in a drop ceiling like Robert Redford, please don’t.
