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".
38年了，还有人记得铁道兵！真好~不知道38年后，还有没有人记得消防兵~
想表现的东西太多太杂反而什么都表现力不足，故事是值得的但台词太差了，硬生生地往脑子里灌输的感觉。
阿汤哥看了会流泪
7.8 粉碎机和接吻的那两场戏 实在是太行为装置艺术了。整个剧本围读有点像驾驶我的车 戏里和戏外的演员无论生活还是角色都发生了重合与融合。潘尼洛普在这剧里又表现出了不一样的美丽
国产灾难片能拍成这样很意外很惊喜。情节紧凑情感真挚没那么多啰里八嗦的，比隔壁美国家的那什么沙丘好了不知道几十倍。
不看这个片子都不知道原来现在的中建前身那么厉害，铁道兵让人佩服，国家的发展少不了他们的贡献……号召的场面还是很感动的，只是总觉得对男主的刻板印象让他的牺牲减分了，总感觉不可能做到，有点儿假，如果换成更硬朗的明星可能这种感觉就会消减了。另外，零点主唱周老板戏路越来越宽了，可以可以！哈哈
国内灾难片太少了，这部有不足，但总体可看，不错
难得的合格国产灾难片，但是问题也很明显，除了仍有差距的特效制作，全片缺少一个大爆点，情节场面虽然一直在紧张局势下进行但整体仍过于平淡。
6/10 有险象环生的情节，也有让人动容的段落，但不得不说爆破戏的特效并没有宣传的那么那么好，合格吧。演员们也都算中规中矩的演出，不突兀也不算特别优异，整体算合格的。
能看，但一点惊喜都没有。
元电影。洛佩兹飒疯了。班德拉斯马丁内兹哈哈哈哈。
超人般的洪翼舟在看的时候是很无语的，有很多说不通的反现实操作。但是当最后真正的中国铁建图像出现，我才明白，主角是这些普普通通的伟大工人的浓缩，他的每一步，每一次跳跃，都是踩着为国家和人民牺牲的铁路兵的脊梁。现实中他们克服的困难和危险不比这场峰爆少。走在他们用命趟出来的路上，我们的祖国会原来越好，就像灾难片，国产灾难片也会越来越好。
整体还不错，就是徒手攀岩看的也太吓人了，而且我的泪点竟然是在那个瘸腿的人站出来支持炸隧道的时候，还有最后男主接女朋友电话那一段
三如了。简直是强行按着观众的头逼人感动。我无法相信2021年了，为什么还能用超人式英雄主义来刻画灾难片。这种方式 反而让人觉得，侮辱了灾难中真正的血肉英雄
4.致敬中国铁建
中规中矩，强行煽情，有些情节挺尬的，灾难场面还是少了点
威尼斯主竞赛第七场，之前看的都是虚假的主竞赛电影，这部才是真正的《主竞赛》！！！😂
一个不错的故事和题材，主演很给力，但导演的功力确实差了点，关键点的节奏和情节没有塑造好
好多熟脸的演员。剧情有些重点不明，说是灾难片，它又讲的是铁道兵的不易，但最后把注意力放在主角父子矛盾上。在被地下水拦住那里，两父子的戏是不错的，洪翼舟多年积攒的委屈像个孩子那样哭诉出来，但不令人感动。外面也不知道是哪里在爆炸塌陷，主角在这里的情感戏显得有些多余，也许隐晦点会更好。后面徒手登山那里挺惊险的，为了突出主角，就比较老套的只有靠他才能完成任务，父子也在这一刻达到完全和解。后面被救后，剧情马上点到为止，有些没尝出味就结束的感觉。总体来说，虽了解到铁道兵的不易，但剧情上还是太薄弱了。
特效，演员，场景都很棒！剧情感觉可以更好！中国人🇨🇳！万岁！
