Extraordinary Measures
Compelling, fact-based drama focuses on a couple (Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell) whose two youngest children suffer from Pompe disease, a potentially fatal neuromuscular disorder. Desperate to find a cure, Fraser and Russell take it upon themselves to raise the money necessary for a maverick research scientist (Harrison Ford) to continue his work on a controversial drug that may be the children's only hope. Inspired by the book 'The Cure' by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Greeta Anand.
