When three brainy college students discover that their unscrupulous mentor, Professor Hathaway, has had them unknowingly working on a secret weapon for the military, they plot an elaborate revenge. It doesn't pay to fool with real geniuses! When three college geniuses put their heads together, almost anything can happen. Supposedly hard at work on a lab project, the trio, led by party-scheming Chris (Val Kilmer), finds time to turn the dorm into an ice skating rink, dismantle a nerd's car then reassemble it in his dorm room, and throw a beach bash in the auditorium complete with a lagoon and bikini-clad beauties. When the students discover that their unscrupulous mentor, Professor Hathaway, has had them unknowingly working on a secret weapon for the military, they plot an elaborate revenge. Their plan culminates in an incredible scheme that outsmarts the military and convinces the Professor that it doesn't pay to fool with real geniuses! (Cinemax)
