Patch Adams: -1998-

The film begins in 1969, finding Hunter Adams (Robin Williams) at a lowest point, voluntarily committing himself to a mental institution due to suicidal depression. While hospitalized, Adams discovers something profound: by ignoring clinical detachment and genuinely listening to his fellow patients—using humor to break through their paranoia and distress—he helps them more than the institutional psychiatrists do. This epiphany earns him the nickname "Patch" and inspires his life’s calling: to become a medical doctor.
