It was a real 3D filesystem navigator, which may sound like a bad idea, that's because it was a bad idea.

For the time it came out it looked pretty cool at least, which at least all was needed for the movie. I remember reading up years later how it was an actual program which I thought was pretty neat, they spared no expense in their computer visuals heh. After actually working in enterprise systems I do understand how awful that'd be to work with.
