Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Hackers is set in NYC however in the "Hack the Gibson" scene Plague places a call to Dade in Grand Central Station but the phone rings using the European tone (ring ring - pause - ring ring) rather than the American tone (riiiiiing - pause - riiiiiing) indicating that this scene was either filmed or sound recorded in the UK.

First off, it's important to note that this movie really isn't all that good. The acting is fun but has no real worth, the story is juvenile, and the "Hacking" depicted in the movie is unrealistic. Now that that's out of the way, let me say that I absolutely love this movie. It was introduced to me during middle school, and the hardcore, stylish way it depicts the computer underground culture is enchanting. I'm in college (majoring in filmmaking no less) now, and I still watch this picture about once a month. Visually the movie is fantastic, especially in terms of costume design. The characters are, for lack of a better word, extremely cool. I want to be them. Any of them. All of them at once. The film has that sort of charm and magnetism. I'd recommend watching this movie with as many grains of salt as you have handy, because under close scrutiny the luster fades, but when viewed with your gut feelings as your guide, it's unbeatable.
