The movie is loosely based on the life of Hunter "Patch" Adams and follows his experiences in the 1970s — beginning with his institutionalization because he is suicidal. When doctors are unable to help him, but the patients do, he is inspired to go to medical school. His training proves to him that medicine is impersonal and he begins to illegally treat the sick and dying with his own brand of irrepressible humor.
