      You can’t really (remotely) hack a machine that doesn’t have wireless capabilities or computer chips in them.

      In the movie it was just regular, non electronic machines like (pre-computerized) diesel trucks and lawnmowers etc.

      The original story was written before the Internet and so before hackers even existed. One of Stephen King’s cocaine fever dreams iirc.
