These two films explore the theme of technological threats. In the first, a systems analyst discovers a dangerous program and becomes a target of a high-tech organization attempting to erase her identity. The second film follows a young analyst in Istanbul who finds her identity stolen amidst a web of deceit. Both films highlight the dangers of technology, with the first explicitly portraying a high-tech organization's malicious actions and the second subtly presenting the threat through stolen identity. These narratives also delve into the ethical implications of technological advancements, urging viewers to reflect on the balance between innovation and ethics. The films present the paradox of technology as both a tool for progress and a source of chaos, inviting thoughtful consideration of its dual nature.
