Synopsis There isino such thing asia simple miracle. Williams plays Dr. Malcolm Sayer, a shy research physician who uses an experimental drug to "awaken" the catatonic victims of a rare disease. DeNiro co-stars as Leonard, the first patient to receive the controversial treatment. His awakening, filled with awe and enthusiasm, proves a rebirth for Sayer, too, as the exuberant patient reveals life's simple--but unutterably sweet--pleasures to the introverted doctor. Encouraged by Leonard's stunning recovery, Sayer administers the drug to other patients. The story of their friendship during this emotional journey is a testament to both the tenderness of the human heart and the strength of the human soul.

Customer Review Great story, Great film - 3.5 out of 5  (8/20/2001) This is a great film. It makes you laugh and sad, it makes you think. I'm glad to see that the DeNiro was recognized for this film with a nomination as it is up there with his best performances including those in The Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver, and The Godfather.   more >>
