Strange Days (1995)

I just discovered this movie and buddies I can say that minidisc [video clips] is everywhere in the movie. Matrix can go to the locker room...

And TV, in the Smallville season 1 episode "Kinetic" [1] the bad guys find a data disc in the Luthor mansion holding data about a secret particle accelerator project [2].

I guess MD is sufficiently unknown among the general audience that they can use unaltered discs and get away with them being an exotic and high-tech storage medium (which it is ;-)

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallville_(season_1)

[2] Sony should have used this in promoting the format - "MiniDisc: Entrusted to store secret Luthercorp projects since 2001." As an IT professional, looking back I facepalm that the data was not encrypted. :)
