Randal KleiserThe Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)

The film centers on the life of Tod Lubitch (John Travolta), who was born with an improperly functioning immune system. This means that contact with unfiltered air may kill him, so he must live out his life in incubator conditions.
He lives with his parents, since they decided to move him from the hospital where he was being kept as a boy.
He is constricted to staying in his room all his life, where he eats, learns, reads and exercises, while being protected from the outside world by various coverings.

Subject: still love this movie
I remember watching this movie on TV when I was 16 and in love with John Travolta. I cried at the end and wondered what ever happened to Tod. it still holds a place in my heart. It made a 16yr old girl think about people who we view as different, and to try and treat them the same as anyone else. It made an impression that has lasted a life time. I would highly recommend this movie to be viewed by all teenagers.
