Plot

In the heart of Brooklyn's slum neighborhoods, a beacon of hope emerges in the form of Dr. Sam Abelman, a determined general practitioner. At the age of sixty-eight, Abelman has cemented his reputation as a selfless doctor who treats the needy, irrespective of their ability to pay. His story catches the attention of Woodrow Thrasher, a television show producer on the brink of a personal crisis. Thrasher, the creative mind behind "Americans, USA," finds himself in a precarious situation when Lyman Gattling, the sponsor, threatens to cancel the show even before it airs. With his career hanging by a thread, Thrasher views Abelman's story as salvation, an ideal narrative that resonates with Gattling Drugs, the show's sponsor. Despite Abelman's humble lifestyle that hasn't allowed him to buy his own home in two decades, his spirit remains unbroken, and his devotion to his patients is unwavering. Thrasher convinces Abelman to feature in the live broadcast, but the path is strewn with obstacles. From Abelman's rigid moral code to Gattling's expectations of favorable company promotion and Thrasher's boss, Ben Loomer, who is willing to sacrifice Thrasher to appease Gattling, the stakes rise. Simultaneously, Abelman endeavours to aid a troubled young man named Josh Quincy, who is grappling with involuntary convulsions and a deep-seated mistrust towards help. The Last Angry Man is an intimate exploration of resilience, morality, and the relentless pursuit of the greater good. It's a tale of an irascible yet compassionate doctor, a desperate television producer, and their shared journey through societal expectations and personal trials. The movie is a poignant reminder that humanity thrives in the most impoverished corners, and that dedication and grit often pave the way for miracles.
