Flatliners (1990)

Corrected entry: Towards the end when Kiefer Sutherland goes under for the second time and the others rush in to find him, they need injections to aid in his revival. Julia Roberts tells the others that she is injecting "epi. intracardial" and plunges the needle into Sutherland's chest. The area where she sticks the needle IS where the heart should be, however, the heart is surrounded and protected by the sternum bone. If she was trying to inject it into the heart, shouldn't she have done so from a different angle? It DOES appear that the needle went through, but that would have to be a very strong needle to be able to not break, hitting bone.

Correction: The heart is not "surrounded" by the sternum, which is the flat bone that ribs connect to at the front of the chest. The heart isn't even completely covered by the sternum, the heart is wider than the sternum and isn't in the exact center of the chest anyway.
