According to Deadline Noah Oppenheim has been chosen to write the reboot of John Badham’s 1983 film, “War Games.”

The movie revolves around a high school student that becomes a fan of a video game that’s actually a war games simulation for the computer (W.O.P.R) that’s tasked with defending the United States against nuclear attack from the Soviet Union (which no longer exists.  I imagine that China, like in the Red Dawn reboot, will be the nemesis this time around).

The problem comes when the computer doesn’t recognize that it’s playing a game.

I have included a trailer of the original film below because it’s been awhile.
