一种高致命性和传染性的病毒在世界上蔓延开来，日韩为了避难，日韩丹尼（卢·泰勒·普奇 Lou Taylor Pucci 饰）和哥哥布莱恩（克里斯·派恩 Chris Pine 饰），女友波比（派珀·佩拉博 Piper Perabo 饰）还有好友凯特（艾米丽·万凯普 Emily VanCamp 饰），驾车以最快的速度穿越美国西南部的沙漠地带。他们希望寻找的是一个相对安全的地方，可是花掉了整整几天的时间，他们却意识到，也许偌大的国家再也没有可供他们容身的地方了。不仅是病毒的肆虐压迫着每个人的神经，他们还不断地被迫去面对道德伦理方面的决定和挑战制造出来的压力--都是一些他们以前无法想象出来的艰难与人性抉择。很快，他们就发现，原来阻挡在他们面前的最大的敌人，并不是不断袭击并打垮人类的致命细菌或病毒，而是隐藏在他们内心深处的黑暗与邪恶......

回复 :Becky和Sandra并不是最好的朋友。Sandra是一家快餐店的经理，而Becky是一个希望得到收银员工作的年轻女孩。一个忙碌的日子，一个警察来电，指控Becky从一个顾客那里偷了钱，但是Becky强烈的否认。Sandra以她作为经理的责任感，遵从警察的指使拘留了Becky。这个选择开始演变成一场噩梦，悲剧模糊了合法性和理智，私权和谨慎之间的界限。

回复 :根据巴金小说《憩园》改编。杨家原是当地显贵，儿子杨梦痴吃喝嫖赌，样样俱全，很快将家业败光，不得已把最后一座花园住宅--憩园卖给了姚国栋。杨梦痴虽悔，却无决心重新做人，终于流落街头，只有小女儿寒儿时常去探望他。一日，寒儿偷入憩园想为父亲摘几枝茶花，遭姚国栋前妻之子小虎毒打。国栋的续弦妻子万昭华很同情寒儿一家的遭遇，由此想到顽劣成性的小虎，决心负起母亲的责任，挽救小虎。然而她的苦心却得不到家人的理解，反遭多方奚落，使她十分痛苦。终于，小虎因行为不检，死于非命，昭华深受刺激，险些流产。至此，国栋愕然醒悟，夫妻俩亦和好如初。剧中一幕夏梦饰演的昭华抱着一本巴金的《家》看得掉眼泪，应该是朱石麟先生对巴金老先生的致敬吧。本片在今天来看，一些性格和道德的分明表现可能略显过时，录影棚的布景更是一眼就能认出来的人工布景，却别有一番文学的张力和神韵。

回复 :This is an unusual film of exceptional values--75 minutes long in color, with hardly any spoken dialogs. I saw this Iranian film in Farsi without English subtitles at the Early Iranian cinema retrospective on-going International Film Festival of Kerala, India. That I was watching a print without subtitles did not make a difference as there were very few lines of spoken dialogs.This is a very accessible film for any audience to enjoy--its story and values are not merely Iranian, it's universal.The film is set in rural Iran that had not tasted petro-dollar prosperity. The setting is on fringes of desert land, where water is scarce, rainfall scanty and hardly any blade of grass is green. Add to it wind and dust that buffets and whips man and animal and you can imagine plight of the people who live on the fringes of society.The film is moving tale of a young teenager returning to his village with a goat--only to find his family and villagers have moved on to escape natures vagaries and that one old man remains. He gives the goat to him and goes in search of his family. Water is scarce and well water it treated with reverence and never wasted.
