In The Net (1995), which actor plays computer analyst Angela Bennett?

In The Net (1995), Sandra Bullock plays computer analyst Angela Bennett.

The film follows Angela, a software expert whose identity is erased after she receives a disk containing dangerous security information. As criminals manipulate digital records, she struggles to prove who she is while escaping capture. Bullock’s performance helped make the thriller one of the best-known cyber-themed films of the 1990s.

The story reflects anxieties from the early internet era, when many people were becoming familiar with online services, remote access, and electronic identity records. Its technology is dated by modern standards, but its central fear—losing control of personal information—remains recognizable.

A common mix-up is confusing Bullock’s role in The Net with her later role in The Matrix-inspired film Gravity, or with the 1995 thriller Hackers, which also focuses on computer crime. The Net was directed by Irwin Winkler and released in the same year as Hackers.
