Flatliners

DramaHorrorSci-FiThriller115 min

At a Chicago medical school, five students start inducing temporary clinical death on one another, chasing proof of an afterlife with less and less caution each time. Kiefer Sutherland is the classmate driving the experiment, while Julia Roberts and Kevin Bacon are among those drawn into it. What begins as a secret test of nerve and medicine turns stranger as each trip past the line leaves the group facing visions, guilt, and the buried tragedies they thought were behind them.
