Flatliners

Spine-tingling drama about a group of medical students who explore what it is like to die by using drugs to stop their heart and brain activity temporarily.

Obsessed with stories of patients who were pronounced dead only to be revived a few minutes later, five medical students decide to experiment with 'controlled death' in order to experience the afterlife. One by one, they volunteer to be put into a clinical death state in order to be brought back to life and report on their experiences. But what will they find on the other side?
