Running time: 106 mins. Starring: Brendan Fraser, Harrison Ford, Keri Russell, Meredith Droeger, Diego Velazquez, Sam Hall, Jared Harris, Patrick Bauchau.

Director: Tom Vaughan.

Extraordinary Measures is a well-intentioned real-life battle against adversity, that would surely have been consigned to the small screen were it not for a starry, A-list cast, including an executive producer’s role for Harrison Ford.

John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) and his wife Aileen (Keri Russell) join forces with scientist Dr Robert Stonehill (Ford) to find a cure for a disease that is slowly killing their daughter.
