Article 99 is a 1992 American comedy-drama film directed by Howard Deutch and written by Ron Cutler. It was produced by Orion Pictures, and stars Ray Liotta, Kiefer Sutherland, Forest Whitaker, Lea Thompson, John Mahoney, John C. McGinley, Keith David, Kathy Baker and Eli Wallach. The soundtrack was composed by Danny Elfman. The plot centers on a veterans hospital where the doctors defy the bureaucratic administration in order to assist the underserved patients. The film's title supposedly refers to a legal loophole, which states that unless an illness/injury is related to military service, a veteran is not eligible for VA hospital benefits.
