The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976) on Netflix

Based on a true story, Tod Lubitch is born with a deficient immune system (which is unlike being born with AIDS). As such, he must spend the rest of his life in a completely sterile environment. His room is completely hermetically sealed against bacteria and virus, his food is specially prepared, and his only human contact comes in the form of gloved hands. The movie follows his life into a teenager. —Afterburner immune systemhorse jumpingcollege acceptance letterblack girlshowoff230 morePlot summaryAdd synopsisTaglinesBorn with no immunity against disease, he lives in a plastic prison.
