The movie Philadelphia

A movie with Tom Hanks portraying a homosexual lawyer with HIV during the AIDS epidemic. His colleagues wrongfully fire him because of his condition. Has anyone seen this film ?

Absolutely. It was groundbreaking in 1993. Tom Hanks won Best Actor, Bruce Springsteen won Best Song Academy Awards.

@bijouxbroussard I have a lot of repsect for TH for taking the part - it could have been a career killer for him given the "aids is a curse from god for 'those people'" times that we lived in.
