In the movie Sneakers 415-273-9164 is the phone number of NSA Agent Mary at the end. River Phonenix’s character Carl asks for her phone number for a date as his favor.

The agent, played by Amy Benedict, is impressed that while everyone else is asking for Winnebagos and around the world trips, all this young man wants is a date with her. Flattered, she surenders her phone number, 415.273.9164, willfully.

movie trivia: Leonard Adleman was a technical consultant for Sneakers. That’s Len Adleman, the "A" in RSA. No wonder the math holds up.
