Well worth the watch

An up-and-coming young businessman, John (Brendan Fraser), and his wife, Eileen (Keri Russell), find that their children are diagnosed with a genetic disease for which there is no known medical care currently. After an exhausting search for a cure, John sees the promising work of Dr. Robert Stone Hill (Harrison Ford) and does whatever it takes to help Stone Hill complete his dream of a unique approach to a cure, and in the process, to cure John's children. The story, based on a true story, is quite intriguing and will hold your attention. However, another advantage is the realization that Brendan Fraser can act and does not have to be a “Dudley Do-Right.” Of course, Harrison Ford can act, too, but in this case, he pretty much plays himself again. I have only seen the Blu-Ray version, so I cannot compare it to others. I can say that the DVD extras are worth watching. They include the real people and the real story to compare the film with.
