This electrifying, offbeat Disney comedy slyly raises the age old question of friendship and true meaning. Before nerds, geeks and cyberpunks, there was regular-guy Medfield College student Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell), who accidentally turns into a human computer through a shocking lab mishap. As the hype over his instant genius threatens to swell his head, he becomes the center of a winner-take-all tug-of-war between greedy college deans and dangerous gamblers, which lands him in big trouble.

Medfield College science major Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell) and his classmates have been working on a new vitamin compound, when a lab accident creates a supercharged mix that ends up in Dexter's cereal box! After breakfast the next morning, Dexter is transformed, possessing a superhuman strength that levels lampposts and destroys doorknobs. The powerful formula comes to the attention of the college dean and two rival cereal companies, touching off a hilarious chain of events.
