I still like to think the thing from Fight Club where they blow up all the central banks would be cool.
The idea of "destroy the banks and free everyone" is in so many movies and shows. Sneakers, Mr. Robot, Fight Club. Hell, even Tuvok had a gang of teenage hackers "ethically distribute" money in SeaQuest.
It does have some historical precedent. In the ancient Near East it was common for all debts to be destroyed every decade or so.
Mr Robot definitely had my favorite execution of the idea. Destroying the tape backups with their own environmental control system was just the best. I still feel bad about the nice security guard guy though :(
That movie is wilder than I remember….
We don't talk about it...
