When they discover strange Cocoons in the pool, the aging gents still decide to swim, and join the foreign objects the forbidden water. Soon, they discover that they feel younger than they have for many years. But they soon learn that the miracle of ever-lasting life comes with a price. "Cocoon" spawned a sequel (1988) and won an Oscar for Visual Effects. (Tricia Littrell)
