Description

"John Q" is a drama movie released in 2002, directed by Nick Cassavetes. The movie follows John Quincy Archibald, a father whose son is in desperate need of a heart transplant. However, John's insurance company denies coverage for the operation, and he is unable to pay for it himself. With no other options, John takes the emergency room hostage and demands that his son be put on the transplant list.

The situation quickly becomes a media circus, with the police, the hospital staff, and John's family and friends caught in the middle. John must negotiate with the police and hospital officials while trying to keep his son alive. The movie explores themes of justice, sacrifice, and the American healthcare system.

The movie features intense performances from Denzel Washington as John and Robert Duvall as the police negotiator. "John Q" received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the acting but criticized the heavy-handed message. The movie grossed over $102 million worldwide, making it a commercial success.
