Many movies have a message. In this case, it's a message surrounded by a movie.
A war orphan, Peter Fry (Dean Stockwell), who leads a precarious life after hearing tales of how "green" is the color of spring and hope for all mankind in times of peril, finds that his hair turns green. His grandfather convinces him that it is a badge or a symbol that he is going to do something great. Being in pre-hippie days, everyone else thinks he's just strange, and it must've been something in the water or the milk. He has a vision allowing him to realize that he has a message for the world about how bad it is and that it creates war orphans. The question is how this message will be received and what they will do about his green hair?
The film and the message may be a tad more complex. However, this is the gist of the movie.
