does art imitate life? how accurate are the movies?

Im sorry if this is a dumb question as I'm completely illiterate when it comes to hacking heck even most computer stuff but I am morbidly curious...Do the movies and common depictions of hacking reflect somewhat what hacking actually is?

Like is it theoretically possible to remotely access anything, from smartphones, laptops, emails, all from the convenience of a coffee shop or your neighbors wifi?

I'm asking if after years of training and dedication could you have this superpower of getting a front row seat to everyone personal data and private lives. Like being able to know people without even having to meet them. That sounds insane.
