Movie synopsis

Harry Connick Jr. leads an all-star cast as Dr. Dennis Slamon, a brilliant oncologist whose development of a breakthrough treatment for breast cancer is cut short by a lack of financing. But when Slamon finds a couple of powerful supporters in big-hearted philanthropists Lilly Tartikoff (LAW AND ORDER’s Angie Harmon) and Ron Perelman (Joe Nemmers), he is once again free to continue his research to the full. Unfortunately, a caveat for his new miracle cure may be waiting just around the corner. Co-stars Swoosie Kurtz, Regina Hall, Amanda Bynes, Amy Madigan, Jennifer Coolidge, and Bernadette Peters give stunning performances in this harrowing true story.

Based on a true story, this biopic follows medical researcher Dr. Dennis Slamon's tireless efforts to win FDA approval for Herceptin, now recognized as an important weapon against breast cancer. Convinced his experimental medication is the key to treating the deadly disease, he first must contend with skeptical backers, critically ill patients and the complicated trial process to prove the drug can save lives.

Harry Connick Jr., Angie Harmon, Bernadette Peters, Regina King, Amanda Bynes, Amy Madigan, Swoosie Kurtz

Everyone Should watch This!

Created: 03/08/09
Excellent movie based on a true story of a break through for breast cancer. I recommend that every man and especially women should watch this. My wife and I watch this together and not only did we learn a few things that happens in the field of research we learn that there is hope for women who would have this cancer. Warning: No dry eyes here. A very emotional true story.

It came in record breaking time. I have not yet viewed it but plan to this weekend. The movie from what I'm told is how this doctor discovered "Herceptin" (another form of chemotherapy) a Breast Cancer drug of which I have taken for my Breast Cancer of which I am still fighting. Thank U!
