The movies you mentioned were far from any type of hacker culture. They were much more about the power of computers, then a mysterious machine people knew little about.

War Games is literally about a hacker.

Tron is literally about a hacker.

Sneakers is about spooks wanting to be hackers and hackers wanting to be spooks.

Sneakers is the point where the militarization of hackers became mainstream.

_incorrect_ stereotypes?

Stereotyping isn't inherently bad, it's just lazy. That having been said, I think Sneakers gets them all correct.

I feel like those films were sort of "along side" the hacker world. Sneakers to me was more on point.
