Awakenings

USA 1990 | 121 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Marshall's film is based on the story of neurologist Oliver Sacks, who encountered a group of statuelike paralytics and "awakens" them using a new drug. But the miracle cure proves temporary... Robin Williams as the doctor and Robert De Niro as one of the awakeners give shape to this moral dilemma.
