The popular Science On Screen series returns to Santa Fe this evening, May 8, with Simon DeDeo and the 1992 cult hacker film Sneakers.

The event begins at 7 p.m. in the Center for Contemporary Arts, 1050 Old Pecos Trail in Santa Fe.

Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, and Ben Kingsley headline an all-star cast in this hacker version of Ocean’s 11, in which a team of computer security experts are recruited to steal a very powerful little box. Cosmologist and mathematician Simon DeDeo shares his knowledge of hackers, cryptography, and systems vulnerability to put this 1992 cult film into perspective.
