About this movie

Hugh Grant and Gene Hackman roam the hospital corridors in a gripping medical thriller where nothing is what it seems, no one is safe and the only chance to survive is through Extreme Measures. A homeless man, wearing a mysterious hospital wristband dies in one of New York City's busiest trauma rooms. Despite his bizarre symptoms, no one seems to care--except Dr. Guy Luthan (Grant--About a Boy), the attending physician. And the more he learns, the more questions he has about Dr. Lawrence Myrick (Academy Award winner Hackman--Unforgiven), one of the country's most revered medical figures. As his investigation deepens, Luthan risks his career and his life to discover an unthinkable truth and a terrifying moral dilemma within his own hospital.
