What happens

White Dwarf is a 1995 American science fiction thriller television film directed by Peter Markle and starring Paul Winfield, Neal McDonough, CCH Pounder, Beverley Mitchell, David St. James, Ele Keats, and James Morrison. It was written by Bruce Wagner, who also executive produced with Robert Halmi Sr. and Francis Ford Coppola for RHI Entertainment, Elemental Films, and American Zoetrope. It is about an arrogant medical student Driscoll Rampart (Neal McDonough) in the year 3040 who is completing his internship on Rusta, a far-flung rural planet, where he learns about healing from the experienced Dr. Akana (Paul Winfield). Originally intended as a television pilot, the film first aired on the Fox Network on May 23, 1995. While expected to be well received, the film instead garnered generally negative reception. Negative reception notwithstanding, it received an ASC Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
