A fun and weird tech change is that all teams in movies need to have "A Drone".

A Drone is just useful enough it's impossible to not want. And it exists as an object that's pretty easy for anyone to get (if they have access to TV resources) while feeling higher tech than most people encounter day to day.

So:
Heist team of kids: Drone
Wildlife Survey: Drone
Marines storming a base: Drone
High Tech Bounty Hunters: Drone
Cyberpunk Weirdness: Drone
Humourous Impromptu Team Of Comedy Bros In Trouble: Drone
