Suspenseful, classic, but language is unavoidable.
I like this movie, for being a tolerable family movie for it's time. Even more, my dad's best friend's great-uncle was the General at NORAD at that time. Suspense is a good factor of this movie, hackers may not want to risk starting a nuclear war because of this. Funny, but watch out, language is present in this movie.
