So far I remember only one movie that shows "hacking" plausibly: Fincher's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo [1].

Most of the time in other hollywood films, it's downright bogus. [2]

Finsher's "The Social Network" shows some real Perl code too. In several scenes with monitor closeups - downloading images via Perl calling wget from Harward dorm websites.
