位于滋贺县小波市的市民医院，当地医疗技术比较落后，虽然有京叶医大的团队驻扎坐镇，但是这些医生视前途比病人更重，对于稍有危险的手术推诿塞责，致令延误了几多患者治愈的良机。平成元年（1989年），从匹兹堡学成回国的外科医师当麻铁彦（堤真一 饰）受邀来至市民医院，担当第二外科室的主任。当麻将病人的生命放在首要位置，拼尽全力做好每一次手术。他的高尚医德赢得了病患和团队的钦佩，却令高傲的京叶医大心生忌恨。某日，当麻挑战当时日本法律尚未允许的脑死肝移植手术，所有的矛盾都被推倒浪尖上来…… 本片根据大鐘稔彦的小说《孤高のメス－外科医 当麻鉄彦》改编，并荣获第34届日本电影学院奖最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳剧本和最佳男主角（堤真一）4项大奖。

Petty Officer Michael Davis (Jeremy Davis) is the newbie to SEAL Team VI, but after his first mission the young soldier is weathered beyond hid years. His first assignment as for the elite black ops squad is as Communications Officer for the micro ground assault team that enabled surgical aerial assaults of strategic targets in Iraq, priming allied forces for the what is now known as Operation Desert Storm. The honor of being part of the special forces unit is enriched by the fact that he is invited into the unit lead by the best, Master Chief Devon Mackefy (Ken Gamble). The team, having just returned from one mission, is called into duty once again, because “Mac is the best”. Feeling the pull of the call, and given no option by the powers that be, our heroes go into the thick of it with the usual disadvantages - tired, short by one man and in need of gearing up in the weapons department; all with their invisibility being paramount. The team is rounded out by Petty Officer Williams (Kristoffer Garrison), Petty Officer Sanchez (Neta De Paula) and Chief Petty Officer Roberts (Zach McGowan). The team’s only contact ii Iraqi is Jamal (Amol Shah), a Kurd who has lost his family to the war and now helps the U.S. in these isolated covert operations. Their sole mission: mark aerial targets, avoid capture and stay alive for four days. But the enemy is in every direction. Tensions are high since Davis is untested in the field and Mac is distracted by a recent personal loss. All these complications threaten the success of the mission, as well as the team’s survival.
