Real Genius

(1985)Directed by Martha Coolidge106 min · PGComedy, Romance, Science Fiction
“When he gets mad, he doesn't get even… he gets creative.”

Mitch Taylor (Gabriel Jarret), a teenage prodigy at Pacific Tech, finds out the laser he has been building with senior Chris Knight (Val Kilmer) is meant for the military as a weapon. The two decide to stop it. Martha Coolidge keeps the campus loose and the dorm full of jokes, and the chemical laser sits in its lab, waiting while Mitch and Chris work out what to do.
