Comes from a smoke free home. 2002 ‧ Thriller/Action ‧ 1h 56m Rated: PG-13 Region Code: 1 The plot of John Q. centers on John Quincy Archibald (Denzel Washington), a working-class father whose son, Michael, needs a life-saving heart transplant but whose HMO insurance will not cover the cost. Facing the hospital's refusal to list his son for the procedure, a desperate John takes the hospital's emergency room and its staff and patients hostage, demanding that doctors put his son on the transplant list. The ensuing standoff draws national media attention, with many viewing John as a hero fighting an unjust system, while police negotiators (Robert Duvall and Ray Liotta) try to resolve the situation. In a dramatic climax, John offers to sacrifice himself by donating his own heart, leading to the discovery of a suitable donor for Michael and John's subsequent arrest.
