Boy In The Plastic Bubble (DVD)

Before John Travolta became a major star in Saturday Night Fever and TV's "Welcome Back, Kotter", he starred in this memorable television melodrama. Loving parents Johnny (Robert Reed, TV's "The Brady Bunch") and Mickey Lubitch (Diana Hyland, TV's "Peyton Place") learn that their son, Tod (Travolta), is born with an immune deficiency. Forced to live in a self-contained environment, he is unable to have direct contact with anything or anyone in the outside world. Despite being sheltered from society, Tod remains optimistic about life, even developing a relationship with his neighbor, Gina (Glynnis O'Connor, Johnny Dangerously). But all Tod hopes for is to get outside and experience what others take for granted. Newly remastered.
