the resurrection of zachary wheeler (1971)


aka The Resurrection of Zachary Wheeler.
"He may last a couple of hours no more!"
A politician (Bradford Dillman) is involved in a car crash, which paramedics and TV reporter Harry Walsh (Leslie Nielson) believe will be fatal. The Senator is rushed to hospital, but then disappears, much to the annoyance of the reporter, who is made to look like a fool when the hospital and the Senator's office denies he was even in an accident. Meanwhile the Senator is spirited away to a secret New Mexico medical facility. Under pressure Walsh is determined to get to the bottom of the story. Will Walsh find out about the Medical facility, what their agenda is, and what do they want in exchange for saving the Senator's life?
Interesting thriller that toys with many medical techniques that are now talked off routinely, such as cloning and DNA tampering.
