I don’t remember where I saw this and the story is a little vague in my mind but I’ve been searching on the internet for a few days now and I just haven’t been able to find it. The story went something like this: a random unaware dude tries other old (dead) dude’s glasses on (can’t remember how he encounters the glasses) and get a super futuristic “upgrade” or “download” of super important / secret information into his brain that is like a mathematical code or something. All of the sudden everyone is after him. And then there’s something about a religious group grabs him and explains that it has something to do with like the answer to the universe or like the “definition” of god. I obviously don’t remember much but it is driving me crazy and if anyone could help me out I’d immensely grateful!
second half sounds an awful lot like Pi (1998). but the first part…?
“Johnny Mnemonic”(1995)?

Sounds like Johnny Mnemonic (1990s)
