John Q. Archibald mène une vie paisible entouré de Denise, sa femme, et de Michael, son fils de neuf ans. Un jour, au cours d'une partie de base-ball à laquelle son père participe activement, Michael s'effondre suite à un malaise cardiaque. Il est transféré d'urgence à l'hôpital où on lui diagnostique une malformation congénitale. Si on ne lui donne pas rapidement un nouveau coeur, il décédera. En devenant ouvrier à temps partiel, John a perdu une partie de sa couverture médicale. Résultat : l'assurance ne couvrira pas les frais de la transplantation cardiaque. La directrice de l'hôpital, Rebecca Payne, consciente des difficultés financières que rencontre cette famille, ne peut leur offrir gratuitement une telle opération. Désespéré, John Q. entre armé dans l'établissement et prend en otage le personnel des urgences, et ce jusqu'à ce que les médecins décident d'opérer son enfant.
