Extraordinary Measures
Don't hope for a miracle. Make one.
Directed by Tom Vaughan
Produced by Double Feature Films, CBS Films
A earnest, emotionally driven drama about a father's desperate race against time to save his children, anchored by the unlikely partnership between two men united by purpose.
Working-class father John Crowley is finally on the fast track to corporate success when his two young children are diagnosed with Pompe disease—a condition that prevents the body from breaking down sugar. With the support of his wife, John ditches his career and teams with unconventional specialist, Dr. Robert Stonehill to found a bio-tech company and develop a cure in time to save the lives of his children. As Dr. Stonehill works tirelessly to prove the theories that made him the black sheep of the medical community, a powerful bond is forged between the two unlikely allies.
