Stars: John Travolta, Glynnis OConnor and Robert Reed.

A 1976 television movie based on the real life story of a boy who could not come into contact with unfiltered air, causing him to live his life in a bubble. It was notable for starring John Travolta and Robert Reed, best known as Mike Brady on The Brady Bunch. For some odd reason this film became a pop culture phenomenon, being referenced many times on That 70′s Show, spawning the term in the bubble in politics and so on.

The film centers on the life of Tod Lubitch (John Travolta), who was born with an improperly functioning immune system. This means that contact with unfiltered air may kill him, so he must live out his life in incubator conditions. He lives with his parents, since they decided to move him from the hospital where he was being kept as a boy. He is constricted to staying in his room all his life, where he eats, learns, reads and exercises, while being protected from the outside world by various coverings.
