Plot summary
The DigiDestined have come home from the Digital World, and Izzy finds a corrupted Digimon loose on the Internet. It swallows data as it goes, growing larger as it cuts into computer systems across Japan. Izzy hurries to Tai's apartment, and their partner Digimon Agumon and Tentomon join the fight from the Digital World, only to be beaten. With the local phone network down, Tai and Izzy send an emergency message to the other DigiDestined. Most cannot be reached, but Matt and T.K. answer from rural Shimane, where they are visiting their grandmother, and Gabumon and Patamon join the battle.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Digimon Adventure: Our War Game (2000)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Early drafts of Our War Game had the Year 2000 problem caused by a Digimon. Director Mamoru Hosoda dropped the idea, believing the film would feel dated once the year 2000 had passed, though references to the millennium bug still appeared in promotional materials.
- Mamoru Hosoda pitched two plots for the film: a road movie inspired by Midnight Run in which Kamiya travels to Okinawa, and a WarGames-inspired story where the hero saves the world without leaving home. Toei chose the WarGames concept.
- Constrained by the film's 40-minute runtime, Mamoru Hosoda narrowed the cast from the TV series' eight characters and their Digimon partners to four. Inspired by the 1994 film Speed, he built the story around a countdown in roughly real time.
- Mamoru Hosoda said Our War Game "kind of started my idea for Summer Wars," which became the feature-length version of that idea and let him explore material he could not fit in Our War Game's 40 minutes.
- Maurice Ravel's Boléro and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" are used as motifs; Hosoda included the latter as a reference to its use in the bomb run scene of Dr. Strangelove.
