A Portland couple have two children with Pompe disease, a genetic anomaly that kills most before a child's tenth birthday. The husband, John, an advertising executive, contacts Robert Stonehill, a researcher in Nebraska who has done innovative research for an enzyme treatment. He has little money to fund his laboratory, and a thorny personality that drives away colleagues and funders. John and his wife Aileen raise money to help Stonehill's research and the required clinical trials. John takes on the task full time, working with venture capitalists and then rival teams of researchers. Time is running short, Stonehill's angry outburst hinder the company's faith in him, and the profit motive may upend John's hopes. The researchers race against time for the children who have the disease. 良医妙药。《良医妙药》(Extraordinary Measures)和背后的真实故事。Make It Pink。为故事本身起立鼓掌。有个朋友的女儿得了这种病,不知道国内能治么?。伟大的父爱。科研商化的道路。无可救药。Seize the time!。除了感动,还有丝丝凉意......。 本片根据真人真事改编,是美国CBS广播公司旗下电影部门制片的第一部影片。 约翰·克罗雷(布兰登·费舍 Brendan Fraser 饰)和妻子艾琳(凯丽·拉塞尔 Keri Russell 饰)育有三个子女,除大儿子之外,另两个孩子都患有庞贝氏症。在二女儿的一次并发症发作濒危抢救后,约翰冲动之下飞去了内布拉斯加大学求见庞贝氏症研究领域中的领先专家罗伯特·斯通希尔教授(哈里森·福特 Harrison Ford 饰),并许诺将成立庞贝氏研究基金,支持斯通希尔教授的研究,尽快将理论成果用于药物实践。不通人情的斯通希尔教授为约翰一家的真诚所动,决定辞职与约翰共同建立生化创业公司,致力于庞贝氏症药物的研发。为了给新公司拉投资,约翰不得不克服一系列困难,甚至频频惹恼已经极难相处的斯通希尔教授,全力以赴和死神赛跑……
