Revenge of the Nerds
Comedy90 min
At Adams College, a group of socially awkward freshmen arrive expecting campus freedom and find themselves shut out, mocked, and pushed around by the dominant Alpha Beta fraternity and its sister sorority, Pi Delta Pi. After losing their housing and becoming regular targets of pranks and intimidation, they band together to build a place of their own. What starts as a scramble to survive college life turns into an escalating rivalry, with the nerds fighting for recognition, protection, and a foothold on campus. Robert Carradine and Anthony Edwards lead the outcast students as they answer humiliation with schemes, contests, and open competition against the jocks who want them gone.
