The Physician

Based on the best-selling novel by Noah Gordon, THE PHYSICIAN tells the story of Rob Cole (Tom Payne), a boy who is left a penniless orphan in an 11th-century English mining town when his mother dies of a mysterious illness. Vowing to become a physician and vanquish Death itself, he travels to Isfahan in Persia to study medicine under the great Ibn Sina (Ben Kingsley). On his epic journey, he will fight religious dogma and make breakthroughs that will form the foundation of human medical science.
