Just proves what's wrong with this younger generation! With all their smartphones, iPads and Facebook, not one of them can build a nuclear warhead. Kinda sad really.

Wouldn’t even be shocked at the reveal in the sequel the kid became some deranged serial bomber. Where some see a smart and clever teen pulling one over John Lithgow for plowing his mom by building a nuclear device I see a total psycho pulling one over John Lithgow for plowing his mom by building a nuclear device.

A Haimish looking teen decides to steal plutonium (like you do) and enter a bomb in a Science Fair. 1980's charm with some "damn the man" mixed in for flair.

While I appreciate the coolness of geekery, this film is just a failed attempt to repeat success of WarGames. Our science-wiz kid-hero is a smug asshole who lives in a film universe where he's allowed to run around with atomic bomb he made in mom's basement. Water-board the bastard, already!

Boy is so smart, he's an idiot, and will just make you angry. Hippie naive idealism of "make love, not war" mentality from "War Games", parading as a potentially cool SciFi movie. Boy didn't think of the potential danger to the entire town over his need for recognition for his "sticking it to the man" when stealing weapon's grade plutonium, just like the disregard in "War Games", but "War Games" is a better movie. The soundtrack appears to been thrown in as an after thought and is distracting.

"Totally" entertaining 80s sci-fi action.
