Synopsis
A young man turns a devastating illness into a unique opportunity to experience life in
50/50, a funny, touching and original story about friendship, love and survival starring Joseph
Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen.

Adam Lerner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) has a pretty great life—with a talented, sexy artist
girlfriend and a cool job with NPR, the 27-year old seems to have it all. But when Adam discovers
he has a rare and possibly fatal form of cancer, his entire life turns to chaos. Writer Will Reiser
experienced his own personal battle with cancer, and was inspired to write an original story which
reflects the humor and heartbreak which collide in a poignant and often hilarious journey the main
character is completely unprepared for.

As his world starts to unravel in every way, Adam finds himself dealing with the wellmeaning
but totally outrageous attempts by his friends and family to make it all better. His best
friend, Kyle (Seth Rogen), uses Adam’s condition to lure girls into sympathy sex, his overbearing
mother (Anjelica Huston) loses sight of him in her own fears, his otherwise-occupied girlfriend,
Rachael (Bryce Dallas Howard) tries to distract herself an increasingly frantic social life, and
Katherine (Anna Kendrick), the inexperienced therapist assigned to his case, struggles to keep up
with the needs of her third client ever in this unexpectedly funny movie that reminds us that
sometimes laughter really is the best medicine
