Comments: A car guy has to dig up a very good science project to pass science class, and graduate high school, says his ex-Hippie teacher. Naturally, the guy goes to a nearby Air Force graveyard. What he finds will earn him the grade, if it doesn't kill him!
This great '80s film is one that I grew up with. The wide shots of the desert town are fantastic. The effects go along well enough with the story, which is strong. Oh, and he has a "blown" Pontiac GTO. Recommended.
