Synopsis
The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969) is a Walt Disney family comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Robert Butler directs, and a teenage Kurt Russell takes his first real Disney lead as the not-so-bright Dexter Riley.
The plot kicks off when the college talks shady local tycoon A. J. Arno into handing over an outdated computer. Dexter pokes at the wiring, catches a jolt of electricity, and wakes up with a brain that works like the machine. Suddenly he can recite whole textbooks and turns into a quiz-show sensation. The catch: the computer's memory also held proof of Arno's crooked deals, and the tycoon wants that walking hard drive shut down. It's gentle late-sixties sci-fi with Cesar Romero hamming it up as the villain and a college trivia championship as the big finale. No edges, no fuss, just a quick rainy-afternoon watch for kids and parents alike. Stream The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969) online on iFILM.
