"I play a graduate student who's at the top of his field at a college much like Caltech. He's kind of mysterious in that he continuously pulls in good grades and job offers even though he never studies. As he's gone through this school, he's learned that just to be a good student is not the whole story, so he's become kind of a rabble-rouser. He enjoys himself and encourages his classmates to do the same - it's his personal quest."  ~Val Kilmer

Brisk, Smart, Fun

Story Martha Coolidge directed this comedy taking place at fictional Pacific Tech, concerning incoming freshman Mitch (Gabe Jarret), a high school student whose Science Fair project made important inroads into laser beam technology.

Mitch has been recruited by famed physics professor Hathaway (William Atherton), who asks Mitch to work in his laboratory. On campus, Mitch becomes roommates with the brilliant Chris Knight (Val Kilmer), 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.

Cast  Val Kilmer, Gabe Jarret, William Atheton, Jon Gries
