Blackhat

Michael Mann stated that his inspiration for directing such a movie came from the Stuxnet virus incident, which reportedly destroyed one-fifth of Iran’s nuclear reactors by invading computers.
The film invited professionals as consultants, including star hacker Kevin Poulsen. He often used the vest "Dark Dante" to commit crimes and was known as one of the five famous hackers in history. Later, Cong Liang worked for Wired News magazine and published a book.
Google’s engineering director, Parissa Tabriz, known as the "information security princess," commented that the film is "the most accurate information security movie" she has ever seen.
The film was filmed on May 17, 2013. The filming locations include Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Jakarta, Indonesia.
Director Michael Mann donated 300,000 Hong Kong dollars to The Community Chest of Hong Kong in the name of Hang Seng Bank of Hong Kong to thank the bank for allowing the film to be filmed in the lobby of the bank for five nights.
The film invites the composer Harry Grayson-Williams and Atigos Rose, who had previously scored the "Social Network", to score. However, after the release, Grayson Williams stated that his and Rose’s music was not used in the movie, and almost all of it was abandoned by Mann.
7 The original title of the film "Blackhat" is a synonym for "villain" (because bad people usually wear black hats in Western culture). In the hacking world, "black hat hackers" often refer to those who commit cyber crimes for personal gain or pure misconduct.
This is the first film directed by Michael Mann to use an anamorphic lens after "The Fuse".
