''The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes'' was a 1969 comedy film released by [[Creator/{{Disney}} Walt Disney Productions]]. It is the first of a trilogy of films starring Creator/KurtRussell as Dexter Riley, a college student at Medfield College, which was seen previously in ''Film/TheAbsentMindedProfessor'' and its sequel ''Son of Flubber''. The film was remade in 1995, with Creator/KirkCameron as Dexter Riley.
The students of Medfield College, headed by Dexter, coerce wealthy businessman A.J. Arno to donate an old computer to the college, which he secretly used as part of an illegal gambling ring. While installing a replacement computer part during a thunderstorm, Riley is zapped and becomes a human computer. He now has superhuman mathematical talent, can read and remember the contents of an encyclopedia volume in a few minutes, and speak a language fluently after reading one textbook. His new abilities make Riley a worldwide celebrity, and Medfield's best chance to win a televised quiz tournament with a $100,000 prize.
The success of this film spawned two sequels: ''Film/NowYouSeeHimNowYouDont'' in 1972 and ''Film/TheStrongestManInTheWorld'' in 1975.
