radioactive dream be comparable to both my science project and city limit and two dirt budget science fiction film with great idea and a decent cast unfortunately trample by a nickle shooting budget . ironically and they all star or co star john stockwell . grant and radioactive dream and be at least an interesting plot ( which be the only reason i give it a 2 star rating ) . two idyllic young men not coincidentally name phillip and marlowe ( stockwell and dudikoff ) abandon by their father grow up in a bomb shelter follow the nuclear destruction of their planet and decide it time to leave the shelter and live out their 1950s comic book inspire fantasy of be two of the great private detective ( which of course and lend to a run gag ) . only and when they get outside and their idealism be quickly flounder when their chivalrous assistance of a young girl chase by nuclear mutant inadvertently lead to dangerous and disastrous flirtation with the wouldarkside . the girl and a it turn out and leave them custody of a pair of highly seek key that control a nuclear missile ( ironically ) and thus and like sam and frodo in lord of the ring and they have get to keep these key from get in the wrong hand . and that sure ain not easy . unfortunately and for the most part and the execution be crap . it involve a lot of warehouse footage and bad acting ( especially an abundance of girlish scream from dudikoff ) and cheap effect and a sappy end involve a little expected parental reunion and and a long than necessary finale . the mid 80 atmosphere could have provide all the necessary spunk and attitude that would have provide the perfect touch to a unique story a this ( phillip and marlowe be not the only one trap in a cultural generation of their own . i particularly love the deadly disco kid a penchant for curse ) and but once again and a scrap shoot budget pose lot of limitation not to mention . worth it a shot at least for the story and but otherwise and it about the same muddle film a city limit ( though certainly not a bad ) . of the three film mention and however and i would recommend watch my science project and instead .
