Medicine Man

“He turned his back on civilization. Only to discover he had the power to save it.”

Dr. Robert Campbell (Sean Connery) is a biochemist who has lived deep in the Amazon rainforest for years, working alone on a possible cancer cure. When the research foundation sends Dr. Rae Crane (Lorraine Bracco) to join him, he wants her gone before she unpacks, and she refuses to leave. John McTiernan puts the two of them in the same cramped camp, with bulldozers advancing, and their arguing slowly turns into a first love.
