John Q.

When John Quincy Archibald's young son, Michael (Daniel E. Smith), is stricken during a baseball game, JOHN Q. (Denzel Washington) and his wife, Denise (Kimberly Elise), discover that their child is in need of an emergency heart transplant.

Although the Archibalds have health insurance, they are informed by hospital administrator Rebecca Payne (Anne Heche) that their policy doesn't cover such an expensive procedure.
