Revenge of the Nerds

Revenge of the Nerds

1984

After enduring abuse from cocky frat boys and their snotty girlfriends, freshmen nerds Lewis (Robert Carradine) and Gilbert (Anthony Edwards) start a fraternity of brainy and socially inept cohorts in order to wreak revenge. The antics culminate in an annual fraternity decathlon in which burping skills are coveted. This iconic 1980s sex comedy also features the "Revenge of the Nerds" television pilot.

They've been laughed at, picked on and put down. But now it's time for the odd to get even! Their time has come!
