Matthew Broderick stars in Jonathan Kaplan's sci-fi comedy as Jimmy Garrett, a trainee air force pilot assigned to teach chimps to use flight simulators. He becomes particularly attached to Virgil when he discovers the ape can use sign language learnt when he was part of a university programme. Then Garrett learns the real purpose of the simulator training: to fly Virgil through a fatal dose of radiation to simulate a nuclear attack on human pilots. He joins forces with Virgil's trainer Teri McDonald, and the trio flee the establishment, but the military are hot on their heels, determined not to lose their star chimp. Edited for language.
