The management of a hospital for army veterans dictates that patients can only be admitted for conditions that directly result from injuries suffered on active duty. However, the doctors are determined to bend the rules to provide former servicemen with as much medical aid as possible. Drama, starring Ray Liotta, Kiefer Sutherland, Forest Whitaker, Eli Wallach and John Mahoney.

Dr. Richard Sturgess leads a team of compassionate doctors at a veteran's hospital. Along with Drs. Morgan, Handleman and Van Dorn, he fights to deliver adequate care to needy veterans in the face of funding cuts and a corrupt administration. To succeed, the staff may have to bend the rules and circumvent the villainous "Article 99," a bureaucratic loophole that prevents veterans from receiving the benefits they deserve.
