Not quite sure about the parameters of your list, but the following
might apply:
The Lawnmower Man
The Lawnmower Man Part II
Johnny Mnemonic
Disclosure
Does old-fashioned D&D count? In 1982 I wrote an episode of the TV
series "The Powers of Matthew Star" that featured a Dungeons & Dragons
style LARP. The story was "suggested by" the infamous case at the
University of Michigan. It was Lou Gossett's directing debut. It was
also pretty silly.
