Simon Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Marshall Brickman
Genres: Comedy
Rating:

In this far-out comedy that slams it to academia, television, and the military, Simon (Alan_Arkin) is a puffed-up professor who is boondoggled by a group of geniuses in a think tank. Becker (Austin_Pendleton) leads the wacked-out thinkers as they invent off-the-wall games to keep themselves amused instead of solving global problems in ecology or whatever. They manage to convince Simon he is really a space alien, but then Simon gets away from them and takes refuge in a strange commune headed up by a former television executive (Adolph_Green) whose bible is TV Guide. Simon's life does not get any easier since he is being hunted by the army with orders to shoot on sight. Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
