War Games

I found the 'climactic' scene (it's kind of cheesy, but what can you do) from the movie War Games we mentioned in class. In the movie, Matthew Broderick's character accidentally hacks what he thinks is just an average computer but turns out to be a top secret military computer. He then accidentally begins a nuclear battle between the US and the USSR (oops). In this scene, the computer (I think his name is Joshua) learns through a serious of games of tic-tack-toe that the only way to win a nuclear war is not to play at all.
