Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
主人带着机器宠物离开了基地，坐在沙丘上等死。
“阿甘”27年后还是那套白西装，只不过曾经的目光清澈变成了现在的老骥伏枥。
为永远的老汤叔加一星。原谅我不喜欢：1-末日废土流；2-很不科的科幻设定，AI不系介果样几滴～
汤姆汉克斯依旧发挥的很出色，但狗狗演技超棒。
在隔离期看到这样的片子真的很暖，俗套但有用
英国导演英国编剧难怪Jeff会一直说sorry呀
我多希望更好地利用了过去的时间
3.5 一个机器人的使命（想起来late late show的机器人也叫Geoff）
同类型片里我始终更喜欢《我是传奇》，这一部算不上特别的好，但是也拍出了自己的特色，以机器衬托人类，对于他人的信任，亲情的传承，人类给自己所设的边界与限制，是啊，我们人类就是这么可笑的物种。可是看完又有一丝悲伤，最后释然。
那只蝴蝶像是阿甘的羽毛。汤姆汉克斯老成了施瓦辛格的样子。
—末日题材往往太重末日，轻情感。此片有点《我是传奇》和《机器人总动员》的感观。
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。
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。
一个老父亲拉扯三个可爱的傻孩子，教会他们信任传递。简单而温暖，适合疫情当前给人以慰藉。
比起科幻片，更像是一部人文片
一人一狗一机器人，末世的温情、人性和爱，竟然看到泪目。
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。
3.5，坍塌的末世，遥远的金门大桥，血肉苦弱，却教机械飞升。慢热，节奏感不强，披着科幻灾难皮但是却是一部探讨人性意义的剧情片，冲突弱但是表现手法还是挺加分的，印象深刻的还是隧道下的那场戏，闪电雷鸣大雨，还有那句“我知道你昨天才出生，但你现在也该学着长大了”ps:机器人一直挨骂有点小心酸的。
《芬奇》，7.8，一人一狗一安卓，挺简单温馨的末日旅途电影。一个对人类不信任的老人，对机器人建立起了最强的信任。狗狗最后也开始信任机器人，结成新的伙伴。影片刻意弱化了一些商业的冲突元素，都关注在汉克斯、狗狗和机器人的心理、情感上，挺有味道。
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。
