Typical disease-of-the-week TV fare, made memorable by a young John Travolta on the cusp of superstardom.

Description by OLDIES.com:
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.
Product Description:
The true story of a young man who, due to a severe immune deficiency, was raised in the confines of a germ-free plastic room. When he falls in love with the girl next door, he is forced to choose between confinement and life, or love and death. Made for television.
