Cast[]

Soundtrack[]

The soundtrack features instrumental music composed by Jim Steinman.[2] Steinman later incorporated melodies from his score into the power ballad songs "Total Eclipse of the Heart", which became a number one hit for Bonnie Tyler in 1983, and "Making Love Out of Nothing at All", which simultaneously became a number two hit for Air Supply.[3]

Production[]

Some outdoor riot sequences were filmed some 37 miles (60 km) south of Cambridge at Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, Massachusetts after Harvard declined to allow the filming on their campus. Other scenes were filmed at MIT and other local colleges.[4]
