Awakenings
A heartwarming and heartbreaking medical drama starring Robin Williams as a shy neurologist who uses a miracle drug to 'awaken' patients who have been trapped in a catatonic state for decades. Set in 1969, it is the true story of Leonard, the first patient to respond to the treatment, movingly played by Oscar nominee Robert De Niro. Sympathetic yet unsentimental direction from 'Big' Penny Marshall put the film in the running for Best Picture.
