For  ages 10 and up

Tom is your average 10-year-old kid. He’s not the smartest kid in the class or the strongest, and he doesn’t quite have the courage to tell his classmate Abigail that he has a crush on her. He daydreams about standing out, being extraordinary. In fact, Tom daydreams so much that he isn’t looking where he’s walking one day and gets hit by a car. His neighbor, the wacky Professor Gantz, gives him a wonder drug to help him recover, leaving Tom with super powers. Suddenly he’s smarter, faster and stronger than anyone in the world and an instant celebrity! But when a gang of bumbling bad guys trick Tom into using his super powers to help them pull off a heist, it will take all of his smarts and imagination to set things right again. Directed by Hanoch Rosen, an internationally acclaimed mime artist described by The New York Times as a "virtuoso."
