What is Wargames about?
Wargames is about a whiz kid who comes across an advanced game that is more than meets the eye. Initially, the game seems harmless, an easy way to pass the time. However, upon playing further, it’s revealed that the game isn’t fictional and has real-life consequences.
From having the power to launch nuclear missiles to possibly starting a world war, the game becomes more and more of a threat to human life, prompting the government to take action. Soon, it becomes unmistakably clear that this kid came across something that was better left alone.
