New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."

胶带，防滑链等登山装备的细节反应女主的专业性，对救援不方弃是对生命的尊重，孤身一人山顶眺望远方思念亲人，情感真挚。
纯扯淡，一点都不符合实际。小成本电影都不太符合正常人的逻辑思维。衣服都湿了，不生火烤干不换衣服，早他妈冻死了。

可惜，前2/3叙事流畅，讽刺过瘾，搞笑到位，结果在父亲坦白真相的那个时刻，影片瞬间自我毁灭了……女孩男友的口音是大亮点，演员好厉害，一个巴黎人能练就那么一口西班牙式的法语口音，还说得那么溜！！！
本來想噴一大串的，但想想算了，或許有這部片的市場在，只是剛好不合我胃口，但對我來說這跟屎一樣難以下嚥。
我被治愈了一些。
比例有点失衡，三兄妹在穷困潦倒那三个月的转变应该多着笔墨。
没想到能降智到这种程度，集合了所有狗血元素，但我看得津津有味。以及，烂到疯癫，疯癫到我以为女主在做梦或者有心理疾病啥的，我幻想着会有一个跟致命ID似的结局，可惜了，并没有，就是普通的烂。
虽然对这种片子不应该认真，可是他们去工作的时间也太短了，感觉就是度假几天体验一下不同的生活，根本没办法转变观念吧。跟schitt's creek比起来可差太多了哈哈哈哈哈哈
就是一部轻松有点搞笑看了就忘打发时间的电影
景色很好
女神老了 刚开始以为费了洪荒之力救了个神经病 后面才讲原来都是有故事的人 总之 叙事有点儿失败 把所有记忆线索都剪掉 结尾改成把人成功救下山会更干脆利落一些 冲突点完全可以设置在路上 而不是让人牙疼的情感线上
猥琐房东窥视，好心司机帮寻。
时间是把杀猪刀，当年让金刚付出生命来保护的女神现如今已经沧桑得快认不出了…😭😭😭
前半段很精彩啊！暴雪遇险虽然艰难但是演得真实又出彩，后半段突然静下来讲内心戏，就逐渐有些压抑。片子还是好片子，值得一看！
撑不起电影的重量，就电视剧集的程度是合格的

也许是因为我是个徒步和登山爱好者，太了解绝境情形下，她的所作所为，有多么可贵。
