My friend needs help remembering the title of a movie. He says there is one scene where the hero and the girl walk into a Radio Shack, and ask the nerd with a pocket protector to hack some government computer. The nerd says he wont do it because its wrong, then the girl gives him a kiss of some sort, and the nerd says OK he'll do it. Later on after the hero and the girl leave, the bad guys come and ask the nerd what kind of information the hero was looking for. The nerd refuses and then gives in. As the bad guys are walking out, they shoot the nerd just once, and he dies.



Sounds like a scene from ''Fair Game (1995)'', with William Baldwin and Cindy Crawford Here's a bit of that (at the 2:44 mark):

I tried watching that once. Cindy Crawford can't act. I don't mean she is a bad actress. She can't act at all.

It might not be very clear from that video clip, so here's a link with a detailed breakdown (this guy had some patience!) of the film. Scroll down till you see a nerd - don't worry, you will spot him. It also describes how the bad guys drop in later and ''persuade'' him to reveal information.

Also, some other user (this guy must be a fan) has posted the dialogue between Cindy and the nerd
"What are you doing?" she asks.

"Just fiddling with my joystick," he replies.

"Fiddling with your joystick?" she asks with a smile.

He then asks her whether she’s interested in hardware or software.

"Hardware" is the word that escapes from her luscious lips.

I hope you didn't post that long explanation because of what Planet News said. He was just jerking around. He wouldn't watch a movie like that on a bet.



Yeah, I read that little conversation up there. But I'd posted that for the OP's benefit

Sometimes they post and never return. If you are sure that is the right answer tell Yoda and he will mark it "answered."
