A post-Walt bit of Disney Studios fluff, starring a young Kurt Russell (before movies like "Big Trouble in Little China" and "The Thing" proved Russell could act).
He's a college kid who (somehow) develops a computerized brain and poses a threat to a real-nasty-gangster played by Cesar Romero.
Also starring Joe Flynn, William Schallert ("Colossus: The Forbin Project"), Alan Hewitt, Richard Bakalyan, and more familiar Disney bit players than you could shake your Mouska-Ears at. Directed by Robert Bulter.

Kinda of a fun, lighthearted Disney film.
Brilliant young scientists Dexter would also go on to develop invisibility in another film, and super strength in yet another.
Oddly, the poster for the film showing Dexter doesn't look much like Russell does it? |
