LORENZO'S OIL (1992)
Lorenzo's determined parents, Augusto and Michaela (Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon), cannot accept the certain death of their son so they tirelessly search for a cure to an incurable disease called adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). They practically set up camp in a medical library, spending hours researching any and all possible treatments that may save their son. It's not always thrilling to watch other people read, but when the effects of ALD flash across the screen as Augusto is researching, the feeling of urgency is palpable.
