In The Net (1995), what is the occupation of Sandra Bullock’s character Angela Bennett?

In The Net (1995), Sandra Bullock’s character Angela Bennett is a computer analyst.

Angela works remotely as a software specialist who tests programs and investigates computer systems. Her isolated professional life becomes dangerous when she receives a disk containing information about a conspiracy and criminals begin erasing her identity from official records.

The film’s thriller premise depends on the contrast between digital information and physical identity. Angela’s occupation gives her the technical ability to recognize the danger, while the conspiracy uses interconnected databases to alter records about her.

Irwin Winkler directed The Net, which was released in 1995. The film is sometimes remembered as a hacker movie, but Angela is primarily portrayed as a computer professional caught in an identity-theft conspiracy rather than as an underground hacker.
