Oscar winner Robin Williams stars as Hunter "Patch" Adams who, after staying in a mental hospital, decides to enlist in med school to become a doctor in the 70s. Determined to help patients with a unique blend of personal attention and humor, Adams turns the medical world upside-down with his unorthodox-but-effective treatments. Spirited and touching, Williams gives an inspiring performance as a doctor who cares with a powerful cast including Academy Award-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, Golden Globe winner Harve Presnell, and Golden Globe nominee Michael Jeter.
