SGI Fusion - FSN 3d File System Navigator

Also The Net , Antitrust and David Fincher's Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo have very realistic computer sequences. Antitrust and Social Network also show real source code that compiles (C, Java, Perl, Bash, HTML), Antitrust even explains "Open Source" to the audience. The camera work (especially showing relevant parts of the computer monitors and pan around to keep it engaging for a longer time) on all four movies is really fantastic. * The Net (1995) - filmed one year before the World Wide Web got traction with the first fully graphical Mosaic web browser: [link] * Antitrust (2001) - famous for highlighting the open source movement, features a "CEO" that resembles a mixture of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs in one person as evil character, shows Linux desktop and command shell, and shows real Linux developer: [link] * Social Network (2010) - very realistic, based on real detailed technical blog posts from 2004 on LiveJournal from Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin's memory: [link] * The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) - nmap tool, etc.: [link] --- * Jurassic Park (1993) - real 3D file manager application on Unix desktop, first use of OpenGL: [link] , see: [this video] and [link] * movies (like The Matrix reloaded) that use the nmap tool: [link]

Sun made SPARCstations, not SGI, who used MIPS, not SPARC, and just called them workstations. Then there was the SGI Indy, which was an SGI Indigo without the go. ;) The 3d desktop file system navigator software running on the SGI workstation was actually a thing that SGI shipped, by Joel Sherrill <[email protected]>, called SGI Fusion, or FSN!

In a scene in the film, the character Lex Murphy, played by Ariana Richards, finds a computer displaying the interface. She exclaims "It's a UNIX system! I know this!" and proceeds to restart the building's access control system, locking the control room's doors. After the release of the film, some perceived the visualization as an example of media misrepresentation of computers, citing the computer game-like display as being an unrealistic Hollywood mockup.
