Academy Award®-winning star Sean Connery (Best Supporting Actor, 1987 -- The Untouchables), reunites with action director John McTiernan (The Hunt for Red October, Die Hard) for another powerful collaboration in the heroic box office smash Medicine Man! Screen favorite Connery plays Dr. Robert Campbell, a brilliant but unorthodox scientist racing against time in his bold research for a cure against cancer. Set deep in the forbidding Amazon rain forest, this action-packed hit follows Campbell hot on the trail of an amazing discovery -- but the eccentric recluse soon finds himself caught in the midst of an explosive adventure! Also starring Oscar®-nominee Lorraine Bracco (Best Supporting Actress, 1990 -- Goodfellas), Medicine Man delivers unmatched entertainment with its spectacular mix of breathtaking scenery, captivating performances, and thrilling, nonstop excitement!
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 falling in love.

The banality of BraccoMedicine Man tells the story of a man searching for the cure to cancer in South America. This movie has everything you’d want, a great director, a good story, and scenery. Unfortunately, Dr. Rae Crane, played by Lorraine Bracco, is where this movie falls short. The character is loud and obnoxious throughout the film. She’s introduced as an intelligent, independent, and educated woman. But as she stumbles along as being the stranger in a strange land, her character comes off as annoying. When she arrives in a new country, she sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn’t belong. Now I’m all for movies with strong female characters, but Bracco is just not likable in any way. Perhaps the role was written poorly, or Bracco is not a good actress. The movie makes a poor attempt at trying to pass off her naivety as comedic and endearing with her New York accent. Then you have Sean Connery, who’s always a joy to watch and exudes charm in any part he plays. You start to think this movie would be better off without the charmless Bracco. Bracco’s character has no humility, humbleness, elegance, or grace. Here’s an educated woman yelling and screaming and making herself look like a foolish clown. Ultimately, Bracco was not a good match for this film..Score: 3/5
"Hollywood Pictures Home Video" kills the movie" Tombstone"Hope you can upgrade this movie to (HD) 1080p! Unlike "Tombstone." Hope you do what's right and bring back "Tombstone" in 1080p (HD). This movie also should be in 1080p(HD)..Score: 5/5

Great movie...BUT....Bought the movie some time ago. Love it! BUT! The picture is a little dark. I know it's not my computer because I've played it on many and some of the night scenes are almost impossible to see. HOWEVER it is a fantastic movie!!!!!!.Score: 5/5
Great movieThis is a great movie. Sean Connery does a great job acting and the verbal jousting between him and Lorraine Bracco are very humorous. The story is great and this movie is a great buy..Score: 5/5
Great movieI bought this back in March and have watched it probably 6 or 7 times since. Lorraine Bracco and Sean Connery are great together. You could tell, that behind the necessary plot tensions, they enjoyed the hell out of acting together. The genuine chemistry between them really makes for a great film. Highly recommended.Score: 5/5
Medicine ManAwesome movie and great music and scenery..Score: 4/5
Surprisingly a hitI don't understand how I've met only a handful of people who have actually seen this movie. They don't know what they're missing. Connery and Brocco give phenomenal performances each; combined with the music, the scenery and the script - cinematic gold! FYI. iTunes lists the movie as having been released in 1999, but I think it was '92 or '93..Score: 5/5
Great lessonThis is a really good movie. Seriously, watch it. My AP bio teacher had us watch this movie along with "And the band played on," (which i would LOVE to see on here). It has a really profound lesson at the end, which i won't tell you, cuz you've gotta see it. It's easy enough to follow the plot and the cast plays a great performance. Enjoy!.Score: 4/5
Wonderful ExperienceBetween the Scenery, the music and of course the story its hard to pic what I like the most. The scenery is just awesome. It looks like someplace you could actually hide from civilization. The music is very nice as well, to the point I'm on my third CD of it. The story though is what makes it all work as the pace keeps up the idea that time may be running out in more than one way for the characters and the tribe. Not for everyone probably as the first reviewer will attest, though well worth a chance..Score: 5/5
