Medicine Man
Directed by John McTiernan
An eccentric scientist working for a large drug company is working on a research project in the Amazon jungle. He sends for a research assistant and a gas chromatograph because he's close to a cure for cancer. When the assistant turns out to be a "mere woman", he rejects her help. Meanwhile, the bulldozers get closer to the area in which they are conducting research, and they eventually learn to work together, and begin to fall in love.
Where to Watch Medicine Man
- TomVaderApril 29, 2026Connery is a chauvinistic scientist with a major discovery, but he needs help. The head office sends help, but it's a woman. Everyone gets drunk, goes on an adventure, and we all learn a slightly preachy lesson. I don't think it's unfair to call this a stupid movie, but I still enjoyed it.
