Hi all

Quick expert note: asked what language appears on-screen and and offered guesses. Film makers usually favour visuals over fidelity, so on-screen "code" is often patched together by prop teams, composited from screenshots, or simplified so it reads at a glance. That makes guessing from a few frames unreliable unless you inspect higher-resolution material and look for concrete markers.

Practical steps to identify what you see: capture a full-resolution frame (Blu-ray/stream at max quality), crop the code area and run OCR so you have selectable text. Look for telltale markers in that text and the window chrome: comment delimiter style, import/include lines or header names, file-extension strings in titles, compiler/error output formatting, comment vs string quoting styles, brace vs indentation conventions, semicolons, and prompt characters. Paste the extracted snippet into several syntax-aware editors or online highlighters; which one highlights cleanly is a strong clue. Also check for editor toolbars or window titles that name the IDE or tool.

If the aim is recreation rather than identification, use short, syntactically correct snippets that look plausible but contain no sensitive data. For a definitive answer, production notes, prop designer interviews, or DVD/extra materials are the most reliable sources because on-set practices (readability, legal, and visual priorities) often trump technical accuracy.

I'm reasonably sure it uses the .NET framework.

Its a made up mishmash of HTML, C++, and some english subliminal advertising.
