The 1985 movie Real Genius, starring Val Kilmer, is a goofy romp about brilliant college students making lasers, filling their dorm with ice so they can sled down the stairs, and generally causing mayhem. But it's also a movie about responsible innovation—about why scientists shouldn't unleash new technologies on the world without thinking about the dangers they pose.

Grab some popcorn and join Future Tense on Aug. 22 to watch the Cold War-era film and discuss its lessons. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
