Tagline: When the heroes are forgotten. When the stakes are life and death. There's one stand you've got to take. There's one rule you've got to break.
Trivia: Apparently Ray Liotta, as one of the “good guys” felt that he should dislike the actor playing a “bad guy”, John Mahoney, both on and off the set; when he saw Mahoney in wardrobe or makeup, he would either rush out of the room or immediately end all attempts at conversation. At the end of the shoot, Liotta smilingly approached Mahoney and told him it was a pleasure to work with him, to which Mahoney replied, “I wish I could say the same.”
“A group of doctors in a veteran’s hospital must contend with their hopeless situation: too many patients and not enough beds. The main cause of their problems is bureaucratic belt-tightening by the hospital administrators. The doctors are determined to give the best service they can, even if that means defying the orders of management and performing unauthorized operations.
