Weird Science Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD

If you can’t get a date... make one! After proving himself the king of heartfelt teen flicks with Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, writer‑director John Hughes infused the genre with a hefty dose of wacked‑out sci‑fi comedy in Weird Science, a film where every teenage boy’s wildest fantasies come to life.

Perennially picked‑on high school nerds Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell‑Smith) are sick of their status at the bottom of the social food chain. Using Wyatt’s computer, the two hatch a plan to create their dream woman — and following a massive power surge that woman unexpectedly appears in the form of Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), whose limitless magic powers make the boys’ dreams come true while complications with Wyatt’s older brother Chet (Bill Paxton) and two determined bullies threaten their newfound luck.
