Backstory

Houston native JoBeth Williams weathered her share of tropical storm and hurricane conditions as a child. Her mother worked as a dietician at Memorial-Herrmann (the Houston-area hospital where 14 Hours is set) for 18 years. The premature infant depicted in the film was inspired in part by the real-life experience of Zachary Jackson, who was born prematurely and required life-support equipment. During a major storm-related power outage, his survival was threatened when hospital systems failed while he weighed approximately 2.5 pounds (1.1 kilogram). Jackson later recovered and is now a healthy adult living in the Houston metropolitan area. His early medical experience influenced his mother’s subsequent work in engineering solutions aimed at improving care and safety for infants and young children, including those in intensive care units. The producers were inspired by the Reader's Digest article "BLACKOUT" by Peter Michelmore published in April 2002.
