In the tradition of great inspirational dramas like the Academy
Award nominated film "Erin Brockovich" and "The Pursuit of Happyness,"
"Extraordinary Measures" is inspired by the true story of John
Crowley, a man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds, and
risked his family's future to pursue a cure for his children's life
threatening disease.
From his working class roots, John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) has
finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by
his beautiful wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children,
John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off,
Crowley walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan
and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. With Aileen by his
side, harnessing all of his skill and determination, Crowley teams
up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist,
Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford). Together they form a bio-tech
company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to
prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his
children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual
respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a
fight against the system – and time.
But, at the last minute, when it appears that a solution has been
found, the relationship between the two men faces a final test - the
outcome of which will affect the fate of John's children.

5 Second Review:
Extraordinary Measures is like a lifetime movie in the theatres. It
is done by CBS' new theatrical division and it shows. Fraser and Ford somehow make it better than it should be though and it is by far the best of this weeks weak crop of releases.
