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".
末世设定却不讲疯狂争抢资源，机器学习也不想未来是否失控，只讲同行三个“人”的故事。
杜威先走了，然后是芬奇。现在只剩下古德耶尔和杰夫了！或者，再算上那只蝴蝶？
虽然后面强行煽情了，但老汤姆还是让人感动到！
是一个让人平静的片子，但是套路卡得都太死了，真不是苹果公司拿大数据和人工智能搞出来的剧本吗？把精华拿出来作为《爱死机》一集估计能拿四星。
汉克斯大叔卖萌扮瓦力，顽皮3PO修习扛大梁。有情物教无情人何为信任，最末之人授最初机器体验之道。汉克斯确实是个典型的原型演员，会不断重复自己的某个角色，这里的芬奇是《荒岛求生》的fedex快递员、是《诺亚》里的诺亚、《幸福终点站》里被困在jfk的无国籍难民……
其实科幻末日背景挺弱的，借助阳光灼人的设定讲人的封闭孤独和不信任，当杰夫芬奇和狗狗建立起信任时，生命就能重返阳光下，人害怕伤害不愿信人，但又总是渴望获得赞扬陪伴和信任，就像芬奇始终保留来自父亲的明信片，杰夫想获得芬奇和小狗的认同。所幸芬奇离开时身边有杰夫和狗狗的陪伴，杰夫领略桥上明媚的风光后还有信心去看新的世界。 汤姆汉克斯独角戏carry全场，机器人杰夫呆萌，小狗值得一座狗界小金人，难得能看到一部如此舒服的电影。
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。
谁能顶得住机器人的温情啊。
在辐射里大概就是和机器人对话然后引出的NPC的故事了
好温馨的末日西部片，全片都是汤姆汉克斯一个人的独角戏，他教给机器人所学所作的，都是为了在他死后能够照顾一只狗狗，因为对小女孩的死心存内疚，对这只狗的照顾是心中唯一的慰藉。
主人带着机器宠物离开了基地，坐在沙丘上等死。
不在乎里面很明显的科技bug的话，片子还是蛮感人的。理论上那些bug也是可以通过其他方式改掉的，剧本上还是有些偷懒了。
好久没看汤姆汉克斯的电影了，挺温馨的，就是比较担心他们遇到人后会怎么样。有些想做的事情还是马上去做吧，事情太多人生太短，说不定就没机会了。
汉克斯演技自不必说，狗狗是个惊喜，把对机器人的嫌弃演得活灵活现。
芬奇想要保护狗的行为，本质上是希望他们能在末世里守住人性的尊严，在不可信任的世界里重建信任。一行人经历着不断失去（同伴），又不断上路继续走下去的过程，因此即使最终只剩下一狗一机器人，人消失了，不过这个世界依然存有人性的善意，这也是这部电影最动人之处。
三星半
电影里女人和孩子都死了，因为要抢食物。
当看到《小王子》书特写时，就觉得主题会是关系和信任了。男主角的心理成长和告别其实是疫情当下时代的心灵写照，关系的建立是个漫长的过程，信任更是如此。外界环境的灾难不过是内心的外化。芬奇和父亲的结靠着杰夫来和解，父与子的身份与角色交相辉映。
