Storia
The story of 'Swordfish' revolves around Gabriel Shear, a rogue agent who seeks access to $9 billion locked in a secret DEA account. He needs Stanley Jobson, an encryption expert and ex-convict with hacking skills, to help him retrieve the money. Shear coerces Stanley by threatening his estranged daughter Holly. In exchange for her safety and his freedom, Stanley agrees to help Shear infiltrate the government mainframes. The film is a high-tech cat-and-mouse game involving computer hacking, misdirection, and revenge against terrorism.
