All tabletop RPG players should watch Ronin (1998, John Frankenheimer). It is, although not intentionally I don't think, structured exactly like a Cyberpunk campaign. The team gets together, they all have niche skills, they plan and plan and plan, and then it all goes to hell. They even have a gun buying scene! We used to watch it as the capstone for our adventure writing seminar.
