Very soon after, the colleague who had sent her the new program dies in a plane crash. The panicked Angela nevertheless decides to continue as planned and go on vacation to Mexico, where she meets a handsome computer hacker. But her "romantic conquest" cares only about her disc with the top-secret information. By the time Angela discovers his duplicity, and realizes she's in danger, it's too late: her visa is gone, her name and address and credit cards are wiped off the computer, and she's wanted for a number of violent crimes. In fact, as far as the net goes, she doesn't exist at all. Now, Angela must assume another person's name and past if she's ever going to get home and prove her true identity. [More]

Reviews for The Net
Silly techno-espionage chase-thriller copycat. Bullock's miscast, but does what she can.
Fun popcorn entertainment, thanks in no small part to the always-likable Bullock.
Stay away from this - unless of course you're an AOL user with a 28k modem and a Pentium 90mhz, in which case you'll be right up to speed with this film.
