Ratings and reviews

What an unusual film, a boy at school played by the young Kurt Russell, has his brain impregnated by a computer, in an accident. He goes onto be a genius, whizzing through tests, learning languages, but soon he becomes involved with a shady criminal boss, played by Caesar Romero, and starts blabbing computer code in a school quiz. He's kidnapped, I wont spoil the plot, but what happens when his really smart friend helps him escape with his school pals is amazing. Its a great film, a real obscure gem, loved it.

Best movie ever i love old commputers and classical films!
