made me think of Die Hard 4 : Live Free or Die Hard
basic plot: An organization of Internet-based terrorists led by Thomas Gabriel, are taking control of everything in America from their computers.. Accompanied by Matthew Farrell, one of the hackers who accidentally assisted the villains in setting up the system, McClane must both find Gabriel and help prevent him from taking over America completely.
Called a 'fire sale' - a three-stage plan to cripple the United States, beginning with attacks on its transportation and financial infrastructures, which have already been accomplished. The third stage will be to take out the power grid - everything must go.
The white hat they go to for help is an autist who lives in his mothers' basement called Warlock.
Gabriel (black hat) takes over the nation's television signals, and broadcasts the demolition of the U.S. Capitol building; Bowman and McClane each run into the street for a clear view, and see that the footage was faked.

"Wanted to use more nixon" (in the ransom demand)
"The news is completely manipulated. Everything you hear, every single day is designed by corporate media to do one thing only. To keep you living in fear."
One of the plot points is the black hat increases pressure in gas lines to take out a power plant that controls the east coast, triggering some kind of automatic backup of financial records etc to a data facility run by the NSA, which black hats plan to intercept, and siphon of large quantities of money.
