Gross Anatomy
No one thought a real rebel like Joe would make it through medical school. But they didn't know Joe.
Directed by Thom Eberhardt
Produced by Touchstone Pictures, Sandollar Productions
A spirited 1980s comedy-drama about a rebellious med student navigating the rigors of medical school while learning to balance ambition with human connection.
Joe Slovak is a brilliant first-year med student whose casual, nonconforming approach to life gets tested when he enrolls in Gross Anatomy, the toughest course in med school.
