Awakenings (1990) is a biographical drama directed by Penny Marshall and starring Robin Williams, Robert De Niro and Julie Kavner. Based on Oliver Sacks' memoir, the film follows Dr. Malcolm Sayer, a neurologist who discovers the effects of the drug L-DOPA on catatonic patients who survived the 1917–1928 encephalitis lethargica epidemic. As patients awaken after decades, they and their caregivers navigate the challenges of reintegration and the impermanence of the treatment.
