From Barbet Schroeder, acclaimed director of Reversal of Fortune and Single White Female, DESPERATE MEASURES is a riveting suspense thriller about San Francisco police officer Frank Connor's (Andy Garcia) frantic search for a compatible bone marrow donor for his gravely ill son. There's only one catch -- the potential donor is convicted multiple murderer Peter McCabe (Michael Keaton), who sees a trip to the hospital as the perfect opportunity to get what he wants most -- freedom. With McCabe's escape, the entire hospital becomes a battleground and Connor must pursue and, ironically, protect the deadly fugitive who is his son's only hope for survival.
