Mitch, a high school student whose Science Fair project made important inroads into laser beam technology, has been recruited by famed physics professor Hathaway, who asks Mitch to work in his laboratory. On campus, Mitch becomes roommates with the brilliant Chris Knight, legendary as the smartest freshman in the history of the college; but now, as a senior, he is less interested in his studies and more interested in having fun. It turns out that Hathaway is enlisting his students, unbeknownst to them, as a slave labor force to do research in developing a state-of-the-art laser device for the Defense Department (he uses his government grant funds to build a house). But Chris and Mitch begin to suspect that something is amiss with Hathaway's project. Run time 105 min. This film is rated PG, for more information go to imdb.com.
