Extraordinary Measures (PG)
Starring: Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell
In the tradition of great inspirational dramas like the Academy Award nominated
film "Erin Brockovich" and "The Pursuit of Happyness," "Extraordinary Measures"
is inspired by the true story of John Crowley, a man who defied conventional
wisdom and great odds, and risked his family's future to pursue a cure for his
children's life threatening disease. From his working class roots, John Crowley
(Brendan Fraser) has finally begun to taste success in corporate America.
Supported by his beautiful wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children,
John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley walks
away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are
diagnosed with a fatal disease. With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his
skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated
and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford).
Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a
life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a
chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into
mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight
against the system – and time. But, at the last minute, when it appears that a
solution has been found, the relationship between the two men faces a final test
- the outcome of which will affect the fate of John's children.
