这是一个完美的海滩假日,至少有一家人、一对年轻夫妇、几个游客和一个流亡者都这么认为,他们来到了同一个幽静、田园般的小海湾,那里有岩石池和沙滩,四周环绕着绿油油的、植被茂密的悬崖。但这个乌托邦背后隐藏着一个黑暗的秘密:首先是在水晶般清澈的水中有一具漂浮的女性尸体。还有一个诡异的事实正在上演:所有的孩子都在迅速衰老。很快,每个人都都发现他们正在变老——每半小时一次——而且他们似乎没有任何办法离开这个小海湾。
沙马兰说这部电影是受到 Pierre Oscar Levy和艺术家Frederik Peeters创作的法国图画小说《沙堡》(Sandcastle)的启发。《沙堡》的故事里有13个人,他们无法离开一个神秘,僻静的海滩,那里隐藏着涉及时间的黑暗秘密。不过漫画里并没有给出这个时间谜团出现的原因,更像是一个关于生存与死亡预言故事。但《OLD》并不是直接改编自这部图像小说,所以沙马兰本人会来讲完这个故事和脑洞。
Wealthy Rollo Treadway (Buster Keaton) suddenly decides to propose to his neighbor across the street, Betsy O'Brien (Kathryn McGuire), and sends his servant to book passage for a honeymoon sea cruise to Honolulu. When Betsy rejects his sudden offer however, he decides to go on the trip anyway, boarding without delay that night. Because the pier number is partially covered, he ends up on the wrong ship, the Navigator, which Betsy's rich father (Frederick Vroom) has just sold to a small country at war. Agents for the other small nation in the conflict decide to set the ship adrift that same night. When Betsy's father checks up on the ship, he is captured and tied up by the saboteurs. Betsy hears his cry for help and boards the ship to look for him, just before it is cut loose. The Navigator drifts out into the Pacific Ocean. The two unwitting passengers eventually find each other. At first, they have great difficulty looking after themselves, but adapt after a few weeks. At one point, they sight a navy ship and hoist a brightly-colored flag, not realizing it signals that the ship is under quarantine. As a result, the other vessel turns away. Finally, the ship grounds itself near an inhabited tropical island and springs a leak. While Rollo dons a deep sea diving suit and submerges to patch the hole, the black natives canoe out and take Betsy captive. When Rollo emerges from the ocean, the natives are scared off, enabling him to rescue Betsy and take her back to the ship. The natives return and try to board the ship. After a fierce struggle, Rollo and Betsy try to escape in a small dinghy. It starts to sink, and the natives swiftly overtake them in their canoes. Just when all seems lost, a navy submarine surfaces right underneath them and they are saved.
