English. Budget. $6 million [1] Box office. $8.2 million [2] Lucas is a 1986 American romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by The Omen writer David Seltzer in his debut as a director and starring Corey Haim, Kerri Green, Charlie Sheen, and Courtney Thorne-Smith. Thorne-Smith and Winona Ryder made their film debuts in Lucas.
Whatever the reason, Lucas never caught on - not in theaters or on home video. Yet it remains as worthwhile a cinematic experience today as it was in 1986. Lucas (Corey Haim) is a misfit, but he's not a misanthrope. A 14-year old accelerated high school student with far more intelligence than common sense, he is the prototypical nerd.
