The true story of Hunter "Patch" Adams. Determined to become a medical doctor, Adams ventured where no doctor had ventured before, using humor and pathos.

After struggling with depression in a mental hospital, Hunter "Patch" Adams (Robin Williams) decides he wants to become a doctor. He enrolls at Virginia Medical University but is disillusioned by the school's clinical perspective on patient care. With the aid of a wealthy friend, Adams opens his own medical clinic for those without insurance, and forms a deep bond with fellow medical student Carin Fisher (Monica Potter) before a tragedy forces him to re-evaluate his approach.
