不情不愿地踏上休假之旅的卡特一家——害怕与老丈人独处的女婿，想和朋友们而不是亲人一起度过假期的小女儿，担心宝宝安全的大女儿，爱叨唠的女主人——在荒凉的沙漠中遇上了另一伙饥肠漉漉的“人”……

The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

It's the wedding anniversary of rugged¹ Cleveland police detective "Big Bob" Carter and his chatty wife Ethel and to celebrate, Bob's asked his extended family to cruise to California with them, hoping the joys of the open road might help fuse their frayed² connections.

No one is particularly happy about it. Eldest³ daughter, Lynn, worries about her new baby's safety and comfort while her husband, mild-mannered tech geek, Doug, worries about close encounters with his father-in-law. Meanwhile teen daughter, Brenda, detests⁴ the idea of leaving her friends for a family bonding trip, while young prankster Bobby is anxious to entertain the family's two German Shepherds, Beauty and Beast.

Nevertheless, the entire clan⁵ piles into a weathered Suburban⁶ pulling Bob's beloved '88 Airstream trailer and heads west. Then, Big Bob takes a detour⁷.

Suddenly, the Carter family finds themselves in a desolate⁸ stretch of desert, with nothing seemingly alive for miles. When they run into a little unexpected vehicle trouble, they realize they are in dire⁹ straits, far from help, with a relentlessly¹⁰ sweltering desert sun overhead.

But even as they fight to survive the deadly desert, a far greater threat emerges. Now the Carters become aware that they are not quite as alone as they first thought. There is another group of survivors¹¹ in the hills surrounding the desert: a genetically¹² mutated, insatiably hungry, blood-thirsty clan--the terrifying offspring of miners left behind in the days when atomic tests spread radioactive fallout across the desert--who will stop at nothing to prey¹³ on the Carters one by one.

Facing the very depths of savagery¹⁴, the Carter family must pull together if they are to find any hope of returning to civilized¹⁵ life again--alive.
