The string of airline bankruptcies that began following the U.S. strike on Iran and subsequent spike in jet prices is not over yet.

The most prominent collapse occurred at the start of May when well-known low-cost airline Spirit Airlines canceled all of its flights and shut down for good. This was despite much industry hope for a last-minute Hail Mary, given the carrier's two past bankruptcies and its well-known brand.

Low-cost holiday carrier Magnicharters also filed for bankruptcy protection in Mexico City last month after suspending all flights for what was initially supposed to be a temporary period of two weeks in April.

Other global aviation names that recently either filed for bankruptcy protection or shut down entirely in recent weeks include Chinese regional Joy Air and British carrier Zenith Aviation.

The financial situation is not limited to commercial airlines. Maeve Aerospace, a Netherlands-based hybrid-electric airplane developer that initially caught the attention of big names such as Delta Air Lines, was also declared insolvent by a Dutch court at the start of June.

British cargo airline European Cargo enters administration

The latest non-commercial airline to enter administration, or the British equivalent of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, is cargo carrier European Cargo Limited.

The court on June 3 appointed Stuart Morris, Robert Fishman, and David Soden of Teneo Financial Advisory Limited as joint administrators of European Cargo, a local Bournemouth outlet reported.

The airline was established in 2020 out of Bournemouth, a smaller city approximately 100 miles southwest of London. The United Kingdom government issued an urgent request for a carrier that could be used to transport personal protective equipment from Malaysia during the height of the Covid pandemic.

In response, parent company European Aviation Air Charter registered in England and Wales to convert several old A340-600 planes formerly used by Virgin Atlantic into freighter planes.

Cargo airlines have also struggled with the exorbitant cost of jet fuel in 2026.ShutterstockWhat is happening with European Cargo, a cargo airline out of Bournemouth

European Cargo was used by the United Kingdom's National Institutes of Health to deliver equipment to various parts of the country throughout the pandemic.

Airlines that filed for bankruptcy in 2026: -

Spirit Airlines: The largest airline shutdown of the year occurred when Spirit Airlines canceled all remaining flights on May 2. Although the airline had filed for Chapter 11 protection twice before, the skyrocketing price of jet fuel dealt the final blow to its operations.

Magnicharters: The Mexican low-cost airline canceled all of its flights until May 2026 in a shutdown that left thousands stranded.

Starflite Aviation: Houston-based Starflite Aviation had its AOC license revoked in March 2026, amid FAA claims that owners falsified pilot training records to bypass safety audits.

AlpAvia: Slovenian charter airline AlpAvia also shut down in March 2026 over financial problems.

H-Bird: Charter airline H-Bird was declared bankrupt by a Swedish judge after losing its operating license at the end of 2025.

"We are your innovative air freight partner — pioneering a one-of-a-kind air cargo operation," European Cargo describes itself on its website.

"We deliver agile, efficient and long-range air freight services, with our fleet of unique A340s. Flying anywhere in the world, from regional UK hubs."

The airline has not put out a statement on its administration; as a result, the details of the situation and whether it attempts to restructure are not currently clear.

The Daily Echo in Bournemouth reports that at least two employees of the airline reported being told that they were being made redundant during a Microsoft Teams call.

56 analysts rate META a Buy with zero Sells, and 24/7 Wall St. targets $868, implying 45% upside from current levels.

META trades at a forward P/E of 20 with 33% revenue growth and 41% operating margins, making it unusually cheap among mega caps.

Reality Labs burned $4 billion in Q1 alone, and META raised full-year capex to $145 billion, creating the market's primary concern.

Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Meta didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

I'm leading with the number because that's why you're here. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) closed at $597.63 on June 2, 2026, down 9.39% year to date. Our 24/7 Wall St. price target for Meta is $868.05 over the next 12 months, implying 45.25% upside. The recommendation is buy with a 90% confidence score, our highest tier.

A Rough Six Months Has Created the Setup

Meta has been one of the more punished mega caps in 2026. The stock is down 2.4% on the week, 1.83% on the month, and sits 10.65% below its year-ago level, well off the 52-week high of $794.38.

Q1 2026 revenue came in at $56.31 billion, up 33.1% year over year, with EPS of $10.44 against $6.66 consensus. Ad impressions rose 19% and average price per ad climbed 12%.

The market spooked on capex. Full-year 2026 capital expenditures were raised to $125 to $145 billion, up from prior guidance of $115 to $135 billion. On June 2, Meta received an analyst upgrade, and Rosenblatt has a Buy rating with a Street-high $1,015 target.

The Case for $1,000 and Higher

Bulls point to Family of Apps daily active people hitting 3.56 billion, advertising revenue growth of 33%, and Meta Superintelligence Labs releasing its first model. The Street is overwhelmingly long.

Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Meta didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

Of 63 covering analysts, 56 have Buy ratings, 7 Hold, and zero Sell. Royal Bank of Canada reiterated Outperform with an $810 target, while Rosenblatt sits at $1,015. If 2027 EPS growth accelerates on AI-driven ad targeting and Reality Labs losses stabilize as CFO Susan Li suggested at the 2026 annual meeting, the bull-case scenario points to roughly $900 to $1,015.

The Risks Worth Watching

The bear case starts with capex. Spending $125 to $145 billion in a single year, on top of $72.22 billion in 2025, represents real execution risk. Reality Labs lost $4.03 billion in Q1 alone. Youth-related litigation trials in 2026 and EU enforcement add tail risk.

Reddit retail sentiment is bearish at 25, and Polymarket's June 2026 contract puts only a 16.5% probability on Meta touching the $700 level this month. Bulls counter that depressed free cash flow reflects deliberate front-loading of AI infrastructure that should compound returns for years. A bear case where ad pricing rolls over and capex weighs on margins points toward the 52-week low of $520.26.

Meta Price Prediction 2026 to 2030

The 24/7 Wall St. price target stands as cited above, the recommendation is buy, and confidence is 90%. A forward P/E of 20 on a business growing revenue 33% with 41% operating margins is unusually cheap for mega caps.

The bull thesis holds if ad pricing remains firm and Meta's AI capex flows through to monetization. The bear thesis gains traction if 10-year yields push toward 5% and force multiple compression across mega-cap tech.

Year

2026

These projections assume Meta executes on its AI infrastructure plan and Reality Labs losses stabilize. Significant upside or downside could result from regulatory action in the EU or a major AI product breakthrough from Meta Superintelligence Labs.

The crypto market cap has dropped from $2.53 trillion to $2.25 trillion in a week, with Bitcoin testing $61,500 overnight and trading more than 50% below its $126,000 October 2025 high.

There are three main drivers of the market downturn. Strategy sold Bitcoin for the first time in nearly four years, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their outflow streak to 13 trading days, and $1.76 billion in leveraged positions got liquidated in 24 hours.

Markets are now pricing a 68.8% probability of zero Fed rate cuts in 2026, and fresh U.S.-Iran strikes on June 2 have shaken the fragile ceasefire that had been holding since April.

Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.

The crypto market cap stood at $2.53 trillion last Wednesday. As of this morning, it has dropped to $2.25 trillion, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) testing $61,500 overnight before rebounding to $63K.

There's quite a few reasons for the market plunge. Strategy broke a years-long rule and sold Bitcoin for the first time in nearly four years, while U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are now on their longest outflow streak ever. On top of that, $1.76 billion in leveraged positions got liquidated in 24 hours, and fresh U.S. strikes on Iran have rattled the fragile ceasefire that had been holding since April.

Every major coin is now down double digits on the month. Below is the breakdown of how Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) are performing right now.

How Far Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana Have Fallen This Week

Bitcoin is showing the worst of the market downturn. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap is now trading at $63,436, down 3.2% in 24 hours and down 22.3% on the month. The bigger picture is even worse, with Bitcoin trading more than 50% below its $126,000 all-time high.

Meanwhile, Ethereum and XRP are doing no better. ETH is trading at $1,768 after a 25.8% slide on the month, and XRP at $1.17 has hit a 15-week low, down 17.3% on the month. Both followed Bitcoin's slide and ended up losing even more ground.

Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.

Solana took the hardest single-day hit of the four cryptocurrencies. SOL is down 4.6% in 24 hours alone and 20.9% over the past month, now trading at $68.38. High-beta altcoins like Solana and XRP amplify Bitcoin's moves, and on the way down, that means they fall steeper than the rest of the market.

Beyond the price drops, the leverage washout was also ugly. $1.76 billion in leveraged positions got liquidated in 24 hours, with $1.50 billion of that from long positions getting forced out. Bitcoin took $773 million of the damage, Ethereum $482 million, and Solana $88 million. Traders went into this week heavily long, and the market punished them for it.

Why Strategy's First Bitcoin Sale in Four Years Spooked the Market

Gage Skidmore / BY-SA 2.0

For nearly four years, Strategy (the company formerly known as MicroStrategy) was the loudest voice in Bitcoin, telling everyone to buy and never sell. The company built its corporate identity around accumulation, stacking 843,706 BTC over five years and turning Michael Saylor into the face of the institutional bullish thesis on Bitcoin. On Monday, that changed.

Strategy disclosed in an SEC 8-K filing on June 1 that it had sold 32 Bitcoin between May 26 and May 31 for $2.5 million, at an average price of $77,135. The amount represents 0.004% of the company's holdings. That is not a number that moves markets on its own, but the signal it sent did.

That said, this was actually not panic selling. Saylor pre-announced the move on May 5, telling investors that Strategy would probably sell some bitcoin to pay a dividend just to inoculate the market and send the message that "we did it." The 32 BTC went to fund distributions on STRC, which is the company's perpetual preferred stock. So, the whole sequence was planned and telegraphed for weeks.

However, none of that planning protected the stock. MSTR fell nearly 6% on Monday, then dropped another 7% on Wednesday as Bitcoin slid below $62,000. Two Wall Street analysts called the sale economically immaterial, but the narrative break was the bigger damage.

For years, the "Saylor never sells" rule had been one of the arguments for holding Bitcoin through volatility. But the recent sale has made that argument look weaker, and the timing came right in the middle of the Bitcoin ETF outflow streak and a macro shock.

Bitcoin ETFs Just Posted Their Longest Outflow Streak Ever

24K-Production / Shutterstock.com

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs were already on a record streak when last week ended, and they have now extended it further. The 10-day outflow run that closed May has stretched to 13 trading days as of June 3, deepening what was already the longest withdrawal streak since the funds launched in January 2024. The structural bid that had supported Bitcoin through every previous selloff is now selling instead of buying.

The pace has been intense. On June 3 alone, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $396.6 million, led by BlackRock's IBIT at $342.3 million and Fidelity's FBTC at $54.3 million. And the day before, outflows hit $519 million. Since May 20, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have lost over $3 billion in cumulative net outflows, or roughly 40,000 BTC by holdings.

Bitcoin ETF assets under management have dropped from around $109 billion to $85 billion during the streak, marking a 22% decline in three weeks. Ethereum ETFs have run their own parallel bleed, posting their 17th consecutive outflow day on June 3, with cumulative net inflows shrinking to $11.24 billion.

The selling is not only happening in ETFs either. According to on-chain data, whales holding between 10 and 10,000 Bitcoin sold roughly 25,000 BTC in the past week alone. So it's not just an ETF problem, but a wider sell-off happening across the board.

Why Sticky Inflation and Iran Strikes Are Holding Crypto Back

Macro conditions have only made things worse for crypto. Inflation came in at 3.8% year-over-year in April, the hottest reading since May 2023, while wholesale prices jumped 6%, the largest increase since December 2022. Energy prices are up 17.9% on the year and gasoline is up 28.4%, which has pushed real wages negative for the first time since 2023.

The Federal Reserve's response has been to hold. The April FOMC vote was 8-4 to keep rates at 3.50%-3.75%, marking the most dissents since 1992. Markets are now pricing a 68.8% probability of zero rate cuts in all of 2026, according to Polymarket. New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, sworn in on May 22, has not had time to establish his own approach yet, which adds even more uncertainty.

Iran is the wildcard nobody can read properly. On Sunday, June 1, Iran suspended talks with the U.S. over Israel's actions in Lebanon. Then Trump publicly contradicted that the same day, saying talks continue at a "rapid pace."

Then on Tuesday, June 2, Iran fired missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain, and the U.S. retaliated late that night with strikes on an Iranian military facility on Qeshm Island. Iranian drones hit Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday, killing one and injuring 63. Three days later, neither side has clarified whether the ceasefire still holds.

The result keeps the inflation loop intact. WTI crude is at $94.99, and Brent at $97.07. The U.S. has drained 14% of its Strategic Petroleum Reserve trying to ease supply pressure. As long as oil stays at these levels, the Fed cannot cut, and as long as the Fed cannot cut, macro pressure will keep weighing on the crypto market.

Is the Bottom In, or Could Crypto Fall Further?

The selloff looks closer to capitulation than the start of a new leg down. Bitcoin tested $61,500 overnight and bounced, and that level is close to the 200-week moving average, which has held as support in past bear cycles. A 13-day ETF outflow streak, $1.76 billion in liquidations in a single day, and a narrative-breaking Strategy sale are the bearish drivers weighing on the market right now. But whether they mark a bottom or signal more downside is still unclear.

Despite all that, there are a couple of events coming up this month that could change the bearish sentiment in the market. The next CPI release on June 10 will show whether inflation is cooling or staying sticky. Then the FOMC meeting on June 16-17 gives the first read on how Warsh sets policy and the dot plot.

Moreover, the CLARITY Act has cleared the Senate Banking Committee and is now on the Senate calendar. If a floor vote is scheduled soon and the bill eventually gets signed into law, it'll give institutional money the regulatory clearance it needs to allocate funds into crypto at a large scale. Until at least one of those breaks in crypto's favor, expect more chop in the $60,000 to $65,000 range for Bitcoin and continued pressure on altcoins.

Moody's Mark Zandi says the economy is flashing a warning sign even as GDP keeps growing

Samuel O'BrientThu, June 4, 2026 at 6:50 PM UTC

Bloomberg/Getty Images -

Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi sees more trouble ahead for the US economy.

He recently wrote that while GDP has increased, it's still below what it should be.

In his view, the economy is growing below its full potential and the Fed isn't likely to help.

The US economy may be growing, Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi says that doesn't mean it's in a healthy state.

The economist hasn't been shy lately about his bearishness on what's ahead of the US. In his most recent newsletter, Zandi noted that while GDP has risen this year and the economy appears resilient, he sees warning signals flashing.

"The economy is growing, but at a rate below its potential, so the situation is tenuous," he said. "Unless growth picks up, unemployment will rise and participation will fall, and at some point, undermine growth altogether."

Zandi has repeatedly warned of the negative impact on the US economy caused by Donald Trump's tariff and immigration policies. In 2025, he described it as being on the edge of recession, a forecast that grew increasingly more bearish in the months that followed.

He acknowledged in the newsletter that the economy held up despite the headwinds he's been seeing, but he sees more cause for concern as consumer prices, specifically fuel costs pushed higher by the Iran war, surge. He's among the forecasters who have said the impacts of the war will offset the benefits of the Trump administration's tax cuts.

But Zandi sees issues cropping up elsewhere, too.

"The soft job market is depressing wage growth, and with inflation accelerating, real wage growth has all but stalled," Zandi said. "Real disposable income has not grown over the past year."

Then there's monetary policy. Zandi highlighted potential problems he sees as a new era begins under Federal Reserve chair Kevin Warsh. Despite initially describing him as a "reasonable choice" to lead the central bank, Zandi said he has concerns.

Specifically, he's worried about the fact that the central bank isn't in a position to pursue policy that would boost the economy and prop up job growth, namely, cut interest rates.

"The below-potential growth and developing slack in the economy would argue for interest rate cuts, particularly since the federal funds rate target remains above estimates of the neutral rate," Zandi noted. "But the tariffs and the Iran war have pushed inflation to well over 3% and close to 4%, double the Fed's inflation target."

Inflation expectations have surged during the Iran war. Zandi said that if expectations continue rising, it will likely prompt the Fed to raise rates, even if it leads to a full on recession, as policymakers will see bringing inflation down as a top priority.

Zandi made it clear he doesn't see this as a good strategy, adding that economic pain in the short term should be preferable to worse economic conditions in the months ahead.

"For the economy to avoid being derailed, first and foremost, the Iran war must end soon, normalizing global oil production and prices," he said. "The buildout of artificial intelligence and its contribution to overall growth must also continue apace."

PARIS, June 4 (Reuters) - The United States will respect tariff caps in trade deals struck with the European Union, Japan and other ‌countries, and planned U.S. tariffs over forced labour provide the legal ‌basis to do so, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Thursday.

"We understand that a deal is a deal," Greer told reporters on the sidelines of an OECD ministerial meeting in Paris.

Washington has struck deals with Brussels and Tokyo that limit U.S. tariffs on most EU or Japanese imports to a maximum of 15%.

However, Greer's office ‌on Tuesday unveiled a ⁠new set of tariffs on 60 countries after determining that they had failed to curb trade in goods made with ⁠forced labour. The EU would face a 10% tariff and Japan 12.5%. A further Section 301 investigation into excess manufacturing capacity could see overall tariffs on the two economies' goods push well past 15%.

Greer, talking about the EU trade deal, said ‌the agreement acknowledged that the U.S. could impose tariffs "up to a certain level" and that the Section 301 investigations gave U.S. President Donald Trump the authority to do so.

EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic, who spoke with Greer at the OECD meeting, said both sides agreed that "the deal is the deal", which ‌meant for the European side the terms agreed at Turnberry with an all-inclusive 15% tariff.

Sefcovic said EU countries had been surprised to find themselves targeted by tariffs over forced labour ‌on account of their high labour standards, but he expected the European Parliament to approve the Turnberry deal with the Trump administration.

The EU is working to introduce a ban in December 2027 across the bloc on all products ‌involving forced labour, irrespective of whether they originate in the EU or in a third country, he said.

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

This spiritual sequel to 2008's *Cloverfield* takes an entirely different approach, forgoing found-footage cinematography and grand-scale set pieces in favor of an intimate setting and mesmerizing, character-driven storytelling. After being hit by another car while driving, a woman named Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) wakes up in a bunker also inhabited by a pair of men, Howard (John Goodman) and Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.). Howard tells Michelle he brought her there to save her life after a dangerous air contamination — but she soon discovers that things aren't quite as they seem.

Boasting grade-A performances by Winstead and Goodman, *10 Cloverfield Lane* is "lean, and taut, and tense, and moves with Swiss-clock precision," writes EW's critic. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

Where to watch *10 Cloverfield Lane*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade:** B

**Director:** Dan Trachtenberg

**Cast:** Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, John Gallagher Jr.

Coherence (2013)

When old friends reunite for a dinner party in a movie, you know something is about to go terribly awry. In *Coherence*, that "something" is the arrival of a close-passing comet — and the discovery of a house full of doppelgängers having an identical dinner party down the street. The plot is full of quantum-related twists and turns, but the film is grounded by the talented cast, which includes the late Nicholas Brendon (*Buffy the Vampire Slayer*) in a fun self-referential role as a former TV star.

The production is just as quirky as the premise: Director James Ward Byrkit wanted to make a low-budget film that was so stripped down, it didn't even have a script. Instead, he invited a bunch of actor friends to his living room, gave them basic character motivations, and let them improvise through the entire thing. The result, while occasionally messy, is thoroughly original. *—Janey Tracey*

Communion (1989)

Critics didn't quite know what to make of this psychological sci-fi drama when it was released in 1989. Subverting tropes of the alien abduction subgenre, the film doesn't offer easy answers as it tells its story of a novelist (Christopher Walken) who has disturbing visions of extraterrestrial beings in a remote cabin. Decades later, some of the biggest criticisms of *Communion* are arguably among its most charming virtues, from Walken's idiosyncratic performance as a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown to the cheesy special effects. —*K.J.*

**Director:** Philippe Mora

**Cast:** Christopher Walken, Lindsay Crouse, Frances Sternhagen, Terry Hanauer, Andreas Katsulas

Donnie Darko (2001)

"I find it kind of funny/I find it kind of sad/The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had." So go the lyrics to "Mad World," a song expertly deployed in this wildly original sci-fi thriller about a moody teenager named Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal), who is troubled by visions of a figure in a monstrous rabbit costume. The entity warns a sleepwalking Donnie that the world will end in approximately 28 days and subsequently persuades him to carry out an escalating series of crimes in his community.

Writer-director Richard Kelly taps into the suburban alienation tackled frequently in film at the turn of the 21st century and goes deeper and more disturbing, with a fun sci-fi bent that's helped establish its cult classic status. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Donnie Darko*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Richard Kelly

**Cast:** Jake Gyllenhaal, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Jena Malone, Patrick Swayze

The Endless (2018)

This low-budget sci-fi horror film may be underseen compared to more mainstream films in its subgenre, but its thrills can compete with some of the best of them. Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, who also directed and produced the film, star as brothers who escaped a UFO death cult in their childhood but grew up to lead lives of disappointment. Upon receiving a cassette tape from the group, the brothers agree to return to the camp for one day, where they discover a series of unexplained phenomena. EW's critic praises *The Endless* as "a thoughtful investigation into how our past and our families shape who we are — with plenty of scares and mind-bending twists." —*K.J.*

**EW grade:** B

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

In this sci-fi classic, an extraterrestrial race is populating Earth with pods that systematically replace humans with alien duplicates. The film follows a quartet of friends who try to uncover the truth and alert the authorities before it's too late, eventually waging war against pod people. Featuring one of the most chilling endings of all time, *Invasion of the Body Snatchers* remains a tense thrill ride and a powerful commentary on paranoia. This was the second of multiple adaptations of Jack Finney's 1955 novel, *The Body Snatchers*, and, as EW's critic writes of the 1978 film, it "trades Cold War anxiety for post-Vietnam paranoia in ways that strengthen and sharpen the source material." —*K.J.***** Where to watch *Invasion of the Body Snatchers*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Philip Kaufman

**Cast:** Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright**

The first two *Quiet Place* films explored how a family adapts to a world where no one can make a sound for fear of being attacked by hypersensitive extraterrestrial predators. This sideways prequel takes it back to the beginning, where these alien creatures terrorize a New York City ill-prepared to fight back. It's the first day of the apocalypse, and the action centers on a cancer patient (Lupita Nyong'o) and a law student (Joseph Quinn) who team up for their own survival. EW's critic writes that *A Quiet Place: Day One* "ends up being quite touching in between scenes when it’s making you jump," thanks to Nyong'o and Quinn's heartfelt performances. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *A Quiet Place: Day One*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade:** B+

**Director:** Michael Sarnoski

**Cast:** Lupita Nyong'o, Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff, Djimon Hounsou

Timecop (1994)

Jean-Claude Van Damme's biggest box office success blends the actor's prolific martial arts experience with a knotty time-travel story. The action star plays Max Walker, an agent at the newly formed Time Enforcement Commission, where he is tasked with stopping criminals from altering the past. After uncovering a vast conspiracy by a corrupt senator, he discovers he might have the chance to rewrite history by going back in time to prevent his wife's tragic death. With high-concept emotional stakes and sleek visual effects, *Timecop *is an entertaining slice of '90s cheese. Plus, writes EW's critic, "Van Damme pulls off some novel stunts — his midair split will have you hitting the slow-motion button." —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Timecop*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Peter Hyams

**Cast:** Jean-Claude Van Damme, Ron Silver, Mia Sara

The Vast of Night (2020)

This underrated sci-fi indie centers on a pair of teenage friends living in 1950s New Mexico who investigate a cryptic audio signal that suddenly interrupts a radio program. Putting the pieces together, they unravel a conspiracy that may suggest proof of alien life. With a budget of just $700,000, director Andrew Patterson pulls off a number of stunning shots, transporting us to a specific time and place. As EW wrote following the film's success, "Just the setting and veneer of the film — it's framed as an episode of a *Twilight Zone*-esque anthology TV series* *— should be enough for you to guess more or less where it's headed." —*K.J.*

WarGames (1983)

An ‘80s movie about teenage Matthew Broderick accidentally hacking into a military supercomputer during the Cold War? It sounds hopelessly hokey, but it’s surprisingly well-written, entertaining, and even prescient, considering the word "hacking" wasn’t yet in the lexicon. *WarGames* has been credited with inspiring a generation of hackers and computer scientists, including Google cofounder Sergey Brin, and Ronald Reagan reportedly consulted with Congress and his Joint Chiefs of Staff about whether the plot of the movie was plausible.

Even the film’s creators didn’t expect *WarGames* to have that kind of impact: On the DVD commentary, director John Badham and the screenwriters said they were worried audiences wouldn’t find the premise believable, until a story about teen hackers breaking into the Department of Defense made headlines shortly after the movie opened. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *WarGames*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** John Badham

**Cast:** Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, John Wood, Ally Sheedy
