An off-the-wall comedy set around the dinner table. What at first glance seems like an awkward 'meet the parents' situation for Dade Klublershturf quickly turns into a game of cat and mouse between Nazis, his boy genius younger brother, Ollie, and a time machine (disguised as an Atari joy stick) the Nazis are trying to capture from him.

Introduction
"Ollie Klublershturf vs. the Nazis" is a 2010 short comedy movie directed by Skot Bright. It was based on a script written by Damon Lindelof, primarily understood for his work in television series "Lost" and "The Leftovers". This eccentric and entertaining film centers around a kid genius named Ollie Klublershturf and an unusual supper party that turns into a zany experience. The film possesses a distinguished cast, with significant actors such as Chris Hemsworth, Zach Mills, Lainie Kazan, and George Segal.

Plot
The story of the film revolves around Ollie Klublershturf, a prodigious child, who develops a time machine in the guise of a keyboard. The plot thickens when an unknown guest named Mr. Cedarman, played by Chris Hemsworth, arrives at Ollie's home for supper. The visitor attempts to ingratiate himself with Ollie's mother and sibling, nevertheless, Ollie is the only one who recognizes him as a Nazi from the future who wants to steal his development.

Throughout dinner, Mr. Cedarman utilizes various strategies to get hold of the time maker, but Ollie continually outmaneuvers him, which becomes a comical tug-of-war in between the two. Ollie's innocently misleading parental pleas for 'pass the potatoes' become an excuse to avoid the Nazi's efforts to steal the time device. In the meantime, the real function of Mr. Cedarman's see is still unknown to the rest of the family.

Ending
The climax comes when Mr. Cedarman lastly handles to get his hands on the development. At that minute, Ollie stops time after frantically striking a number of keys of the keyboard. In the frozen timespan, he handles to change the maker back from Mr. Cedarman. When the time restarts, the device ends up exploding, which results in Mr. Cedarman's demise and a charred table.

In the concluding scenes, it's revealed that Ollie has actually been reducing the effects of the danger from the time-traveling Nazi frequently, describing all the charred table in the past. Meanwhile, his household, completely oblivious to the reality, associates these occasions to mere accidents. The movie ends on a comical note, with Ollie's family marveling at the eventful supper, none the smarter.
