Synopsis
The highlight of this film is undoubtedly the array of cheating techniques showcased throughout. From computer hacking to laser beams and body painting, the artistry of cheating using both high-tech and low-tech methods is breathtaking. The cast is equally impressive, with Yamaguchi Tatsuya playing Kimura Kenji, an honor student who risks his academic career for his friends. Making her film debut, Amuro Namie stars as the female lead – a perfect casting choice.
The setting is the prestigious Japan Science University. Kimura Mitsugu, an academically excellent student, lives in Sigma House, a student dormitory. While most of his dormmates are unique troublemakers with poor grades, their dormitory faces demolition. Due to the schemes of Professor Migita, who plans to build a hotel on campus, the dorm will be shut down unless all residents achieve straight A’s in their next exams.
This campus academic war unfolds as the students engage in a battle of wits against their corrupt professor, using elaborate cheating techniques to save Sigma House. Will their all-out effort in this “righteous” academic dishonesty lead them to glory or destruction?
