Patch Adams

1998

After committing himself to a mental institution, Hunter "Patch" Adams (Robin Williams) realizes that introducing his fellow patients to humor significantly improves their quality of life. Upon leaving the institution, he decides to become a doctor who cures people using laughter rather than cold, analytical processes. Although jeopardizing his future in medicine, Patch continues his unconventional yet promising healing methods.

Based On A True Story.
