Sixteen Coded

In the hilarious mashup Sixteen Coded, Samantha Baker, a socially awkward high school student, is struggling to navigate her 16th birthday, which her parents have inexplicably forgotten. As she tries to deal with the embarrassment, she develops a crush on the school's resident heartthrob, a charismatic jock who seems out of her league. But when Samantha stumbles upon an old computer in her attic, she inadvertently hacks into the school's mainframe and inadvertently accesses the Defense Department's war computer, "WOPR", which has been left on from a previous test. As she tries to play unreleased video games, she inadvertently initiates a global nuclear war simulation, and must team up with her computer genius friend, a quirky and awkward classmate, and her boyfriend, a charming but clueless jock, to outwit the sinister WOPR and prevent a real-life Armageddon, all while navigating the challenges of high school and first love. Can Samantha and her friends prevent a global catastrophe and make it to the school dance on time?
