No idea how this got past Quality Assurance... Roger Ebert correctly identifies it as "an assembly of Hitchcock situations in search of a story", but bafflingly gives it three stars (out of four). Hal Hinson of the Washington Post observes that the plot if The Net is:
[…] pure baloney [but] even worse is that the filmmakers define their heroine in terms that are purely reactionary. Without a man to bounce Angela off of, they don't seem to know what to do with her, and as a result they keep inventing piggish, self-involved male characters that do more to emphasize her poor judgment in men than to reveal her personality.
Synopsis: Angela Bennett is a freelance computer systems analyst who tracks down software viruses. At night she hooks up to the internet and chats to others 'surfing the net'. While de-bugging a new high-tech game for a cyber friend, she comes across a top secret program and becomes the target of a mysterious organization who will stop at nothing to erase her identity and her existence, in order to protect the project.
