Healer is a 1994 American dramatic film starring Tyrone Power Jr., Tobey Maguire, David McCallum, John Johnston, Turhan Bey, DeLane Matthews and directed by John G. Thomas.

## Plot

An ex-con has just been paroled to a work-release program where he must work off his final year as an ambulance Emergency Medical Technician in the retirement resort, Seabreeze. David McCallum plays a comedic role as the "Jackal" an opportunistic drifter who uses the emergency system as a personal taxi service to allow him to feed his drug habit and get out of trouble.

## Cast

Turhan Bey came out of an over forty year absence from film acting to play an elderly man confined to a nursing home who provides the main character reason to carry on in an incredibly demanding job. This was David McCallum's penultimate on-screen film role (as of 2023). Tobey Maguire had one of his earliest roles as a stoned teenager in a car wreck.
