About this movie

Powerfully affecting true-life story of a painfully shy research doctor who takes a job at a Bronx hospital's chronic care ward in 1969 and discovers that his comatose patients still have life inside them. Williams is superb as the doctor, and De Niro is his match as a patient who awakens from a thirty-year coma. © 1990 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

No other actor could have brought this story to us with greater integrity. Moving and deeply memorable.
