Operation Crossfire Hurricane and Jumping Jack Flash (1986) Whoopi Goldberg film
Forgive me for my misspent youth, but I watched this cheesy film too many times.
Yet the plot and current events seem strangely relevant. “Jack” is a British spy communicating with an American bank computer operator (Whoopi) through an internal message system. Whoopi runs around meeting various American and British spies, discovers KGB moles who betrayed Jack. All in search of a password Key connected to the song Jumping Jack Flash. (The key is the key, B-Flat).
Somehow this film seems connected. British and American spies working together. Moles and traitors. Secret computer keys. And an unsuspecting computer operator who gets caught up in the middle of the spy war and has to help the good guys win. That’s us - now.
But it makes me wonder about FBI Anon and whether he was part of Crossfire Hurricane, part of the operation to identify Trump supporters online. To bring us together and give us hope so we could be dealt with later.
Or maybe I’m reading too much into a bad movie and the name of a government operation.
