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".
看多了今年好莱坞的垃圾，稳稳地讲故事竟已觉得难能可贵。
如果这是一个机器人的口述历史，然后镜头切到未来的当下。会上一个档次吧。
“有机器人的电影都不差”，INTP如是说。
故事，说它简单，关于信任及其传递；说它复杂，人类交给机器人了生命和希望，扮演完了进化历程中自己的角色，交接给新的物种。
刚刚看到世界恢复的希望，芬奇却挺不下去了。
—9.0分。
汤姆汉克斯总能接到高质量剧本，这部片子估计能进今年奥斯卡吧，多个奖项都可以提名。
虽然显而易见的是，《芬奇》隶属于科幻片的范畴，但我很难以此对待，我更愿意将它视为一部家庭亲情片和公路片的混合产物。所以当我们随着汉克斯这位美国良心漫游整个旅程时，会感到阵阵暖意。你会发现，不管是那条需要呵护的小狗，还是机器人杰夫，亦或者那个只会运输的小机器人，都给人一种治愈的能力，这是好莱坞拍摄这类影片百试不爽的绝招，总能让人为这些看似不起眼的小角色饱含深情。
15分钟的东西拍了115分钟。杰夫造型可人儿。
披着科幻外壳，讲的却是一个关于守护的温情故事，末日里的真善美。
追念“American Pie”金曲，湯姆·漢克斯的個人獨角戲……另一種情懷
“当一条狗被杀死时，人们会去抗议，但当一个人被杀死时，连狗都不会有反应，这种信念从何而来？让提出问题的人闭嘴的政治，让指责的人戴上手铐的政治，但无论你如何试图让他们闭嘴，无论你把他们关进哪座监狱，都会有人提出问题，而且必须有人回答。”
杰夫是芬奇的孩子，由他一夜长大开始养家。
这120分钟令我觉得我依旧是一个富有同情心追求真善美的好人，it makes me feel good。
虽然Finch又是末日题材电影下的不同形式的演绎分支的其中一节，但是Tom Hanks始终能够推动整部电影的发展，并且触动到观众内心的那块叫人性的软肋。
只能说是对汤姆汉克斯的爱才能看得下去并打个4星。美术和摄影的确非常壮美，其余的，真的就太平淡，故事太四平八稳毫无冲突和惊喜，说是科幻奇幻不如说这是一部文艺童话电影。
白胡子老爷爷比较好看。这电影只能找老汤大爷演
一人 一狗 一机器 也能真情流露
泪奔……好片！没有个人英雄主义，只有一个垂暮老人、一条狗、一个有感情会做梦的机器人。
一人一狗一机器的末世公路片，人类的爱与信仰在机器身上传递和永生，肉身的宿命悲剧和精神与希望的永恒一下子击中我，太爱这种命题了。与其说爱狗不如说是坚守人类底线，至少还有责任与付出。居然在机器人身上看到了生命与活着的欲望，理由很简单只是为了明天还要给狗狗喂食和陪它玩球而已。结局真的超级浪漫和悲壮，没死在金门大桥也算是意料之外的套路了（喂！）而且我也好想和jeff握握手呜呜这是怎么拍出来的啊看起来手感也太好了，一股子复古纯机械风叮叮当当的感觉也好戳我
