Movies do better when they make something that people are already scared of seem even more frightening and fantastic.

There really is no such thing as different "hats" for hackers.

If you are hacking to do damage, you are, by definition, not a hacker.

hack·er1 ( P )
n. Informal

1. One who is proficient at using or programming a computer; a computer buff.
2. One who uses programming skills to gain illegal access to a computer network or file.
3. One who enthusiastically pursues a game or sport: a weekend tennis hacker.

Thought number two sounds wildly fantastic, and stereotypical, it is not meant in the sense that the person has broken in to cause harm, merely that the act of breaking in has broken the law. Unfortunately that is all too true, but does not mean that the hacker has visions of destroying the system.

EDIT: Minor grammatical corrections.
