About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
John Quincy Archibald is a father and husband whose son is diagnosed with an enlarged heart and then finds out he cannot receive a transplant because HMO insurance will not cover it. Therefore, he decides to take a hospital full of patients hostage until the hospital puts his son's name on the donor's list.
A desperate father takes an entire hospital emergency room hostage to force a life-saving transplant for his dying son. This suffocating race against time pits a single man's love against a cold, bureaucratic healthcare system.
