Two super-nerds, Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith), unable to find girls on their own, hack into the Pentagon's mainframe and use government technology to genetically engineer "the perfect woman." The result is "Lisa," (Kelly LeBrock), a sexed-up "80s babe" with Einstein's IQ and inexplicable sci-fi powers. Self-aware from the moment of her creation, Lisa sets about transforming Gary and Wyatt from nerds into men through a series of wacky and bizarre adventures, which include such things as Lisa summoning up the cast of The Road Warrior to crash a party at Gary's house, and Lisa turning Gary's abusive brother Chett (Bill Paxton) into a gigantic, anthropomorphic mound of feces.
