An eccentric scientist sponsered by a large drug company believes he has found the cure for cancer in a remote part of the Amazon rainforest. After he has been there for a couple of years, another scientist is sent to check on him to report on his progress. Dr. Crane (Bracco) is at first skeptical of any progress at all, but is soon convinced that Dr. Campell (Connery) is onto something. They are believed close to finding the cure when loggers threaten the current tribe and research location, so they must flee.
This movies ties in okay to my capstone, but it is definitely on the broadest end of the spectrum. Medicine Man deals more with medical research and biotech themes than diagnostic medicine, but it still discusses Medicine and Health, the origin of my capstone. Even though it has horrible reviews, I enjoyed to movie very much. There are some parts where there is a ton of technobabble when they're doing some experiments, but it's easy enough to understand if you pay attention. The acting, I thought, was right on. I enjoyed it. I wish it had been more specific to my capstone, but it's not the worst choice in the world.
