The most amazing thing about stuxnet is that if hollywood were to make a movie about it we would find it too unrealistic, even if it was less fantastic than the real facts.
We would find it unrealistic because Hollywood would get the details wrong. Encryption would be portrayed as wiggly squares on a screen. "Port scanning" would be confused with "hacking."
The example I gave to a politically minded friend: Imagine a political drama with dialog like this:
"We've found a bug in the parliamentary procedure! Call the senator!"
"Oh no! Quick, we've got to omnibus the filibuster before the cloture overflows and the whole bill crashes!"
