- The Amazon rain forest is a living laboratory for Dr. Robert Campbell (Sean Connery), a reclusive research scientist living with a Brazilian native tribe. Campbell has accidentally discovered a flower extract that cures cancer, but has been unable to duplicate the formula. With the assistance of Dr. Crane (Lorraine Bracco), he explores every possible chemical derivative, but continues to fail. When a child in the village is near death from a tumor pressing against his trachea, Campbell and Crane stand against each other on the moral issue to use the last of the successful serum to save him or to keep it for further analysis.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"With what doubtless are the best intentions, the film wants to do several things, and does. The trouble is that it doesn't do any of them very well."
-
"'Medicine Man' is an adventure story with a message: We must save the Amazon rain forest. It's certainly a noble cause, filmmakers forgot to make their movie any fun"
-
"There are nice things in Medicine Man but it only works perfectly when it leaves its characters up a tree"
