Plot: In this drama, a wealthy American doctor learns some important lessons about life in one of the poorest cities on Earth. Max Lowe (Patrick Swayze) is a Houston surgeon who has grown weary of the bureaucracy of American medicine. When he loses a patient on the operating table, Max impulsively decides to leave America and travel to India in the hope of finding himself. Not long after he arrives in Calcutta, Max is attacked by a group of thugs and left without money or a passport. However, a man named Hasari (Om Puri) comes to Max's rescue. Hasari had left his farming community to come to the city, only to be overwhelmed by its dirt, crime, and overcrowding. Despite their poverty, Hasari and his family take Max in and bring him to a medical clinic in the City of Joy, one of the poorest slums in the city. The clinic is run by Joan Bethel (Pauline Collins), an Irish-American nun who urges Max to use his skills to help the people of Calcutta who so desperately need it. Max signs on, and he finds that the experience changes his life. City of Joy was based on a novel by Dominique Lapierre. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

One of my top 10 movies of all time! A great story! This DVD should be in everyone's collection. A very reflective movie, with 2 good story lines (one of an America Doctor and the other of a Indian rickshaw puller) whose stories intertwine.

I love this movie and it is never mentioned. Even today hearing of his death I think of this movie way more so than say Roadhouse (which i also like). I will be purchasing this movie to watch again.

This is a good movie. A must watcht movie. City Of Joy is a movie that takes you through multiple emotions. First it sparks intrest. Then your on a journey with this doctor, witnessing the Highs and Lows of life for poor people in the India. How much can one endure before they reach some sence of Joy.
