Welcome to the future. It's a no-brainer.

"All men are not created equal. It is the purpose of the Government to make them so." This is the premise of the Showtime film adaption of Kurt Vonnegut's futuristic short story Harrison Bergeron. The film centers around a young man (Harrison) who is smarter than his peers, and is not affected by the usual "Handicapping" which is used to train all Americans so everyone is of equal intelligence.

Directed by Bruce Pittman

Starring Sean Astin, Miranda de Pencier, Eugene Levy, Howie Mandel, Andrea Martin, Christopher Plummer, Nigel Bennett, Peter Boretski
