Copycat has two female leads, Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter, and NEITHER OF THEM DIE, and a really OTT performance by Harry Connick Jr as a serial killer. It's not a great film, but I loved it because it's prickly female buddy-buddy teamup and Weaver is great and the film's really about female agency. I don't know if I'd recommend it per se (it has some gory bits) but it's kinda like a little crime film gem.
....yeah, WarGames is about hacking and the classic AI threat in scifi, not The Internet Is Evil. And the thing about the Cold War was we didn't have open communication -- Kennedy installing the hotline was a big thing, and that came AFTER the Cuban Missile Crisis. I'd class it more as a Cold War/A.I. movie. (Also how good is John Wood in that? So good. And Ally Sheedy!)
