Extraordinary Measures‰
Starring: Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell
Directed by: Tom Vaughan
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. 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. 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.
