English Summary:

Chattahoochee is a 1990 American drama film directed by Mick Jackson and starring Gary Oldman and Dennis Hopper. The film is based on the real-life experiences of Chris Calhoun, who met screenwriter James Hicks, who then wrote a script based on his internment in a Florida state mental institution. It was turned down by several major studios before being accepted by Hemdale Film Corporation, a small British-owned, Los Angeles-based company that also produced Platoon, Hoosiers, The Last Emperor, and Salvador.

Emmett Foley (Oldman) is an American hero of the Korean War who attempts to commit suicide, first by provoking local police and then by shooting himself in the chest. After his recovery, he is sent to the Florida State Hospital, an institution in Chattahoochee, Florida, where he fights against doctors and staff who are terrorizing and torturing their patients. His efforts eventually led to sweeping reforms in the Florida mental health system

Hungarian Summary

Emmett Foley fegyverrel szolgálta a hazáját Koreában. A háborús veterán azonban nem találja a helyét a civil életben, képtelen beilleszkedni a társadalomba. Nem tud szabadulni a nyomasztó harctéri élményeitől. A sikertelen öngyilkossági kísérlete után 1955-ben a Florida állambeli Chattahoochee elmegyógyintézetbe utalják. Megdöbbenve látja, milyen állapotok uralkodnak az intézményben, az orvosok és a személyzet megalázza és elhanyagolja a betegeket. Emmett a nővére, Mae, valamint az egyik betegtársa segítségével hadjáratba kezd a tisztességes bánásmódért.
