I found Sneakers a little disappointing.

Don't get me wrong, it was a pretty decent 90s thriller. Very charming. But the way it was described made it out to be as if it portrayed complex cryptographic and technical concepts.

All I really saw was an anagram and some idealized substitution cipher. Fun film, misleading summary.

But Adleman, the scientist behind the assessment, is one of the most prominent cryptographers and number theorists.
