ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Killswitch (film)

Okay kiddo, let me explain a movie called "Killswitch" to you. In this movie, there is a computer program that can control the internet. This program is called the "killswitch" because it can turn off all the computers and devices connected to the internet all over the world.

Now, this might not sound like a big deal to you, but imagine you're playing your favorite game on your tablet, and suddenly, the internet goes off. You won't be able to play your game anymore, right? That's why the people in the movie are worried about the killswitch.

Some of them think that the killswitch should be controlled by the government because it can be dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands. Others say that everyone should have control over it because the internet is a public space, just like a park or a library.

The main character in the movie is a guy named Aaron, who is a computer hacker. He wants to show people that they should have control over the killswitch, not the government or big companies.

So, Aaron and his friends try to break into the system and take control of the killswitch. They face a lot of challenges and danger along the way, and you'll have to watch the movie to see what happens in the end!

I hope that explains the movie to you, kiddo. Remember, the internet is a powerful tool, and we should use it responsibly and ethically to make the world a better place!
