When the voting age is reduced to 14, teens take over the world, in this low-budget Hollywood response to the hippie revolution. With youth in control of the United States, similar revolutions break out in all the world's major countries, and hippy president Max Frost withdraws the military from around the world, puts computers in charge of the GNP, ships surplus grain for free to third world nations, disbands the FBI and Secret Service, and becomes the leader of "the most truly hedonistic society the world has ever known". That's until an unexpected backlash and intergenerational warfare.
