Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
排球换成机器人了 汉克斯快去世的时候细节拍的太好了 很感人 这里的感情真的很细腻 又像朋友又像师徒又像父子
看汤姆老爹一步步把机器人培养成才，就像把孩子教养成人一样让人感动，特别是最后机器人和狗子一起和谐生活的时候更让人感动，孤独又温馨的感动。片子的灾难情形设想让人震撼，又让人觉得苍凉孤苦，这种悲感并不是人类自己造成的，而是太阳造成的，虽然这样的设想让人心里些许安慰，但也让人慑怕于破坏了臭氧层的危机后果。
科幻的世界不必一定是轰轰烈烈、拯救地球，真实如纪录片、平淡如文艺片，可能才是生活本来的样子，哪怕是科幻的生活，也不太可能跟我们的想象差异太大。
太无聊太老套太陈旧了，连老汤这个角色都像是从其他电影中借来的，世界不需要太多这样的电影。
故事行进至最后五分钟才是高潮和感人部分。一个机器人和一条狗的概念很新颖。被机器人感动到，被狗感动到（狗狗真会演戏）感动回归到本质依然是人的情感。所以，有一天世界末日，人类消亡，天空没留下痕迹，鸟却已飞过。如果我们全不在了，那些我们经历过的故事依然会被流传下去……汤姆汉克斯在里面再一次演出了人类最后的孤独。
末世温情小品…阿甘老伯伯娓娓道来once upon a time的人性小故事，关于信任、性本恶的悲观故事，环境条件的恶化不是致命，与人斗才是灭绝的原因…Jeff刚开始的配音很怪也很棒…
美式心灵鸡汤的高级版，其实机器人就是理性的，哪有那么多人性化的理解和追求和人一样情感的过程呢？不过真的蛮可爱的，三星半。汉克斯还是那么会选剧本
男主开头生活环境不错，还能制造高端人工智能！可是为了尘暴和情怀突然出走，途中回忆狗的由来，快到目的地了，紫外线又不强了！逻辑不通畅，缺乏说服力，一度想打低星。又想到，将死之人，行为逻辑可以理解。不禁感叹，这个人工智能，真好啊！！！！
-＂Because trust will get you killed.＂
末世危机，生老病死，对人类是如此残酷；人类的人情世故，不忍心让一个机器去理解和感受；杰夫面无表情，我们却感受到了ta的喜怒哀乐。
如果到最后只有机器人和狗可以信任，那才是真的世界末日吧。
完美，集合所有我喜欢的元素：废土、未来、科幻元素、狗狗。Jeff的演绎非常出色，细微的动作传达出丰富的情感，虽然是机器人，但是你能感觉到他的体温。最后太催泪了，呜哇，眼泪它就是停不下来啊啊啊！！！！
2022.7.3
故事情节简单到了白开水的地步，但又包含了所有的人生历程与感悟。就看观众个人自己怎么加戏了。 绝大多数人的人生跟男主一样，就是一场瞎忙， 一场奔波之后啥也没得到，然后继续奔波，奔不动了交给后人继续奔。 每个人都有个性都有渴望，就连机器人也不想让自己很平庸，希望自己很特别，很在乎自己的名字， 但最后接受的现实就是平庸的努力活下去，为了一条小狗，为了那一丁点的生活美好而努力奔波。
They made a robot to care lives. We made politics to kill.
这是一部中国人最能共情的电影。托孤的故事，千年前，就被写进了书里，变成了现在四大名著的一部分，成为中国人的集体血脉。
给我这个有些浮躁的、居家隔离的5月3日以沉静的力量。“末世”的感觉，让我们无论如何都更加珍惜眼前所拥有的一切。生命中确实要追求未知，向往未来，但不可或缺的，也有体会和珍视我们所有的当下。感受身边的温情，陪伴在身边的家人。硬盘中的影片、播放器中的音乐和书架上的书籍。有些遗憾的地方是咖啡已经耗尽。要等解封才能购买了。
当一朵花一只蝴蝶成为奇迹一般的出现时，畅快呼吸享受日光浴变成了恩赐福祉时，🤖成为了最完美的存在！
疫情再不结束，恐怕就要真实上演末日剧情了(T＿T)
设定和场景真的太fallout了吧！另外，是因为苹果投资的所以加州还没事？
