About this product
Product Information
Based on the best-selling novel by Robin Cook, COMA is a taught paranoid thriller and a dramatically apt metaphor for the corruption and fraud in the modern American health-care industry. Dr. Susan Wheeler (Genevieve Bujold) suspects her colleagues of foul play when her closest friend lapses into a coma following a routine operation. When Wheeler discovers a suspiciously frequent pattern of unexplained comas in her hospital, she becomes obsessed with finding an answer, even when it puts her own career and life in danger. Her lover, Dr. Bellows (Michael Douglas), admits there is a mystery but doubts there is a conspiracy and even suspects Wheeler of suffering from a nervous breakdown. The tension builds as Wheeler's investigation leads her to a secret corporation specializing in organ transplant experimentation and sale for profit, and she soon witnesses the defining image of the film: comatose bodies suspended on wires in a computer-controlled environment. With its suspensful plot, dramatic editing, and conspiratorial terror, COMA is a precursor to many paranoid dramas such as THE FIRM and THE PELICAN BRIEF, establishing a defined style that may yet become a genre unto itself.Product Identifiers

Really enjoyed this movie
I never saw this movie when it first came out, many years ago. So we decided, "well, what the heck", and now I regret not having seen this way-back-then. It was really a good movie and the actors were superb. Very suspenseful. A good quality movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great suspense story, keeps you guessing and wondering who is behind it all.
1978 movie that still has so much going for it and it was GREAT. The story line was awesome because it was adapted from Robin Cook's book COMA. It keeps you guessing and wondering what is Dr. Wheeler going to find out, what is going to happen to Dr. Wheeler, who is the one behind all the comas and why? Really good one.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Watch this movie again. Characters are believable
Great movie. I have seen it on TV. Now I can watch it again. MICHAEL CRICHTON produced a great movie and ROBIN COOK wrote a great sci-fi medical drama. Since I like medical procedures and science, that's what piqued my interest. Thanks againVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
