The Boy In The Plastic Bubble (1976) starred John Travolta as a young man with severe combined immune deficiency syndrome who was forced to live his life inside a sterile environment. It was based on the lives of David Vetter and Ted DeVita. When I was little, I found this film to be quite moving. Some of the memorable scenes: Spacesuit-wearing Travolta in the push-up contest, the horse jumping over his portable bubble, that fateful game of Trivial Pursuit. Oh wait. Anyway, the movie is now in the public domain and viewable at the Internet Archive. "The Boy In The Plastic Bubble"
