Taglines: When your hospital is a war zone, you have to fight to save lives.
Article 99 movie storyline. When Dr. Peter Morgan (Kiefer Sutherland) begins his medical internship at a Veteran’s Administration hospital, he expects to breeze through on his way to a cushy practice. Instead, he’s thrust into a bizarre bureaucratic maze where the health of patients is secondary to politics. And the temperature really rises when he teams up with some freewheeling physicians, led by Dr. Richard Sturgess (Ray Liotta), who think they’ve learned how to break the rules-and save lives-without getting caught.
Article 99 is a 1992 American dramedy film written by Ron Cutler and directed by Howard Deutch. It was produced by Orion Pictures and starred Kiefer Sutherland, Ray Liotta, Forest Whitaker, John C. McGinley, Rutanya Alda and Lea Thompson. The soundtrack was composed by Danny Elfman. The film’s title supposedly refers to a legal loophole, which states that unless an illness/injury is related to military service, a veteran is not eligible for VA hospital benefits.
