Popularity

At a nuclear power plant in Chai Wan, Hong Kong, a hacker causes the coolant pumps to overheat until they explode. Shortly after, the Chicago Board of Trade is hacked and soybean futures start to rise. The Chinese government and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reach the same conclusion: both attacks were carried out with a remote access tool. The two cases appear to be the work of the same person. Both governments want to know who is behind the attacks. Michael Mann writes, produces and directs this action thriller, starring Chris Hemsworth and Viola Davis.

Trivia about Blackhat

The score Ryan Amon composed for Elysium (2013) was reused in Blackhat. Mike Dean also contributed additional music.

Harry Gregson-Williams, credited as composer, stated that the movie "contains almost none of my compositions" and that his music was nearly unused in the final cut.

Michael Mann donated HK$300,000 (US$38,500) to the Community Chest of Hong Kong on behalf of Hang Seng Bank, in exchange for permission to shoot five nights in the bank's lobby.

Blackhat opened the same weekend as American Sniper, which broke the record for the biggest January opening weekend in history.

Blackhat expected a big hit in China, where Wang Leehom and Tang Wei are very popular, but the government did not approve its screening and it was never shown there.

Mann planned to place the attack on the nuclear plant sequence in the middle of the movie, but moved it to the beginning shortly before the release.

It is Michael Mann's first feature film shot entirely with digital cameras, although he had already used digital extensively in Collateral, Miami Vice and Public Enemies.

For years, Michael Mann consulted cybercrime experts and had Kevin Poulsen among his advisors; in addition, the specialists taught Chris Hemsworth and Wang Leehom hacker gestures and typing styles.
