Love love love this movie. Easily one Val Kilmer's best movies. And it's pretty fucking bananas.

 

This movie posits that the only way the u.s. military can conduct weapons research is to trick nerds into doing it. Also the main nerd is supposed to be 16 and his love interest in the movie appears to be a woman in her mid twenties.

I also love this movie but it absolutely deserves to be done. And good call on Michelle Meyrink (the nerdy love interest), she was 23 when this movie came out and Gabriel Jarett was 15. So yeah, the romantic chemistry there is a little...off.

this is another great example of one of those 80s rediculous but brilliantly so film. Loved it as a kid still enjoy watching it now even for all it's flaws
