In the 1995 film Hackers, which actor plays hacker Kate Libby, also known as Acid Burn?

In Hackers (1995), Angelina Jolie plays hacker Kate Libby, whose online alias is Acid Burn.

Kate Libby is one of the film’s most capable young hackers and becomes both a rival and ally to Dade Murphy, known online as Crash Override. The character is introduced as a confident member of the New York hacker scene, and her technical skill is central to the group’s efforts against the criminal hacker known as The Plague.

Hackers was one of Angelina Jolie’s early feature-film roles. Jolie’s performance helped make Acid Burn one of the movie’s most recognizable characters, especially because the film presents its teenage hackers as a competitive but tightly connected subculture.

The character’s real name and alias are sometimes reversed in trivia questions. Kate Libby is the character’s name; Acid Burn is her handle. The film was directed by Iain Softley and released in 1995, several years before Jolie became an international star.
