Extraordinary Measures plot: Supported by his wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children Crowley (Brendon Fraser) is on the fast tack in corporate America.

Crowley tems upwith a brilliant but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford – Indiana Jones).

In an interview about his role Harrison Ford said: “Because the character is a fiction, he’s a composite of other contributors to the science that brought this enzyme therapy through the process. We had the opportunity to make him up out of those things that helped tell the story. We wanted to create both ally and antagonist for John.”

And Fraser added about the movie: “I was told that by virtue of making this film in a way we’ll raise awareness so that’s a tool in and of itself.”

Opened in theatres on January 22nd.
