Real Genius (movie) Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Real Genius is a 1985 comedy film starring Val Kilmer. The movie is set on a university campus in the United States. Chris Knight, played by Val Kilmer, is a genius on his senior year working on a chemical laser. He came to the university as a subdued, studious student, but over time turned into a prankster and fun character after deciding to enjoy life more. Mitch is a new student to the campus that is paired up with Knight to work on the laser. He is like a young Knight, and originally has trouble settling in, but Knight manages to teach him how to live on campus without "burning out".

More recently, comparisons have been made between "Real Genius" and the Airborne Laser project for the U.S. Air Force. The most obvious difference, however, is that the Airborne Laser is defensive in nature.
