Abstract: Movies are a good source of problems for scientific analysis. Over time we become conditioned to accept Hollywood science that permeates most fantasy, science fiction, and action / adventure films. But science exaggerations can be found in even the most innocuous films. “Can that really happen”, “How does he do that” or “Can I do that” are some questions that can engage student in the problem. Through the use of selected movies and probeware, students can explore concepts presented in film, and compare them to their own physical performance. Examples of merging probeware with cinema are discussed.
