The Net

1998 - 1999 TV-14 45m 6.1

Computer programmer Angela Bennett discovers a shadowy group of cyber terrorists who completely erase her true identity. Falsely labeled a criminal, she finds herself on the run, and she'll never stop until she's got her life back.

Based on The Net (1995) starring Sandra Bullock, this 1998 television series stars Brooke Langton in the role of Angela Bennett. Angela is a computer hacker who specializes in debugging systems. On one of her routine assignments, she stumbles onto a plot by a secret society called the Praetorians to control the world through computer systems. Led by Shawn Trelawney (Joseph Bottoms), the Praetorians erase Angela's existence and replace her identity with that of Elizabeth Marx, a criminal and fugitive from the law. Aided by individuals she finds along the way and by a mystery computer e-mail contact known as "Sorcerer" (Tim Curry), Angela strives to foil the Praetorian's plans, save the world, and get her life back.
