Kurt Russell is Dexter Riley? Disney with a lesson in pure fantasy.

Our hero Dexter Riley (a young Kurt Russell). Time flies.

Tagline-A college sophomore crosses wires with a computer…and electrifies the establishment!

True to these words Kurt Russell is perfectly cast as one college student who gets the shock of his life — a life changing one.

Add one Dexter Riley [average college student] plus an accidental jolt [electricity] while holding on to computer terminals= fried brain, illegal gambling, a college knowledge show, Cesar Romero and a bunch of college painters. And it all leads to- The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes!

Who would believe you could get zapped by electricity and all the while holding on to some cables that are connected to a computer and not only that you survived the jolt but know your brain has been computerized?
