WARGAMES
December 9, 2012  | By David Bianculli

Sundance, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
With so many Sunday night series already shut down for the holidays, there’s time to look around and see what else is on – including this 1983 thriller, made at the beginning of the home-computer era. That’s evidenced easy by the bright-type-on-dark-screen prompts, the high-pitched modem sounds, and the “war room” graphics that are charmingly basic – if not BASIC. Next year, WarGames will be 30 years old, but the story itself has aged very well. So has star Matthew Broderick, it should be pointed out.
