Cult classic, one of the greats from the 80's.

This film flopped on release but it has since gained cult status. Not an 80s classic but it's still a fun watch and the twist is a good one. Trivia: In one scene, Hanks character is watching Fred Rogers on TV. Years later, Hanks played Rogers in A Beautiful Day In the Neighborhood. Co-incidence? Or was Hanks already preparing for the role? Erm...its the former, obviously!
