Satire on think tanks, with Alan Arkin as a psychologist believing he’s from outer space. Madeline Kahn, Austin Pendleton, Fred Gwynne. Lisa: Judy Graubart. Fichandler: William Finley. Barundi: Jayant. Marshall Brickman directed., In this far-out comedy that slams it to academia, television, and the military, Simon (Alan Arkin) is a puffed-up professor who is boondoggled by a group of geniuses in a think tank. Becker (Austin Pendleton) leads the wacked-out thinkers as they invent off-the-wall games to keep themselves amused instead of solving global problems in ecology or whatever. They manage to convince Simon he is really a space alien, but then Simon gets away from them and takes refuge in a strange commune headed up by a former television executive (Adolph Green) whose bible is TV Guide. Simon’s life does not get any easier since he is being hunted by the army with orders to shoot on sight.
