When the DEA shuts down a dummy corporation operation code named SWORDFISH, they had generated $400 million which they let sit around; years of compound interest has swelled it to $9.5 billion. A covert counter-terrorist unit called Black Cell, headed by Gabriel, wants the money to help finance their war against international terrorism, but it's all locked away behind super-encryption. He brings in convicted hacker Stanley, who only wants to see his daughter Holly again but can't afford the legal fees, to slice into the government mainframes and get the money.

Special features: 2 behind-the-scenes documentaries: "The making of Swordfish" and "The effects in focus"; feature length commentaries ; 3 alternate endings not included in theatrical release; restricted files: hidden features; original theatrical trailer; cast/director film highlights.
