午夜,一架从洛杉矶飞往波士顿的767客机突遭客舱失压泄气的危机。从沉睡中惊醒的布莱恩·恩格尔(大卫·摩斯 David Morse 饰)惊恐地发现,飞机上所有的乘客和机组人员都消失了,身边只剩下十个同样身处险境的男女老幼,手足无措。那些消失无踪的乘客所留下来的“遗物”,仍原封不动的停留在原处,好像不曾发生过任何事情,然而噩梦才刚刚开始。在三万七千英尺的高空之上,这些幸存的“生还者”将最后一丝希望付诸于地面,却完全联系不上,彻底失联。当他们将飞机着陆之后,一片死寂的地面更让他们惶恐不安。陆地上的城市似乎毫无变化,只是荒无人烟的景象,被深深的黑暗所笼罩,仿佛这些城市从来不曾存在过一样。在这片无人之境,空气是凝固的,声音是失真的,连食物也是索然无味的。每一个人都深陷在不祥的预感之中,不知所措,宛若砧板上的鱼肉任由宰割。正在这时,一个恐怖的声音正在向他们一步步地逼近,似乎要吞噬掉这群被时间遗忘的人。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
