Weird Science

Weird Science

1985

Teen nerds Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) are fed up with being ignored by girls, abused by cool guys and forced to spend their weekend nights watching geeky sci-fi movies. When they use Wyatt's computer to create Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), a stunningly beautiful woman with a genius IQ, the boys become instantly cool. But will their new creation really solve all their problems? A classic '80s teen film from John Hughes.

They went from zeroes to heroes in one fantastic weekend.
