Weird Science – 40th Anniversary [Back To The 80s]
Weird Science – 40th Anniversary [Back To The 80s]

To celebrate 40 years of glorious geekdom, Weird Science is back where it belongs ? on the big screen! This cult classic from John Hughes sees two high school nerds create their dream woman on a computer, only for their ?perfect? creation (Kelly LeBrock) to turn their world hilariously upside down.

Packed with wild science fiction, teenage wish fulfilment, and unforgettable 80s fashion, the film also features a young Robert Downey Jr. in one of his early roles as a sneering high school bully. It?s a quintessential slice of the decade?s quirky brilliance. Celebrate four decades of mayhem, misfits, and mullets with us at the Back to the 80?s Film Festival.
