| Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
Da John Q’s lille søn kollapser under en baseball kamp opdager lægerne, at han har brug for en hjertetransplantation for at overleve. John arbejder på en stor fabrik og har via sin ansættelseskontrakt ret til lægehjælp, men firmaet har på grund af dårlige tider valgt en ny forsikringsordning for deres ansatte, som ikke dækker store operationer. Hospitalet nægter derfor at indstille drengen til transplantationen uden en udbetaling på $ 30.000, hvilket er umuligt for John at skaffe. Dette tvinger John ud i ekstremerne, og da han langsomt ser sin søn blive dårligere, tager han sagen i egen hånd og kidnapper den hjertekirurg, der skal foretage operationen og alle på hospitalets skadestue. Gidseltagningen bliver en varm nyhed for både hospitalets ry, politiet og ikke mindst medierne, der naturligvis sender direkte fra hospitalet...
Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
John Q Archibald (Denzel Washington) is a Chicago factory worker struggling to make ends meet. When his son Michael is rushed to hospital after having a seizure at a baseball game, the doctors say the boy must receive a heart transplant as soon as possible. Lacking the necessary health insurance to cover the operation, John has no choice but to take the chief surgeon hostage, barricade himself in the emergency room, and demand that his son's name be put on a donor-recipient list. As the police gather outside and hostage negotiator Frank Grimes (Robert Duvall) attempts to diffuse the situation, the media begin an in-depth coverage of the siege and in the process turn John into a modern-day folk hero. |
