On guard of life Night New York. Ambulance doctor Frank travels with his teammates around the city and provides assistance if he can. Usually, calls come about crazy, drunks and drug addicts, in general, long-known clients of some of them doctors have long learned, as they take them from day to day. Frank would be happy to resign, but the authorities do not let go, there is no one to drive.
And Frank is haunted by the ghosts of those whom he once did not save, and how many of them have an ambulance doctor with a huge experience, can you imagine?
Martin Scorsese made a very heavy, atmospheric film, where there is no place for piece heroism, Frank and his friends perform feats every day, just by the fact of their existence. Probably this is the best role of Nicholas Cage, according to legend, in order to enter the role, the actor traveled for quite a long time together with doctors, it is unlikely that he, as his hero, took birth and did artificial respiration mouth-to-mouth to the baby, but probably something giving the film credibility he saw.
