Six friends on vacation in Cancun go on an excursion to visit an archaeological dig near Coba. The friends include Jeff, a type A guy who is set to begin medical school in the fall; Amy, Jeff's girlfriend, who is also set to begin medical school, and who is smart and emotional; Stacy, Amy's best friend, whose nickname is \"Spacy\" and who is irresponsible; Eric, Stacy's boyfriend, who is immaturer; a fun-loving Greek guy who everyone calls \"Pablo,\" but who lacks a common language with any of the others; and Mathias, an intense, thoughtful German tourist.
6位朋友在Cancun度假,準備去科巴附近參觀一處考古挖掘現場。Jeff正準備于今年秋天去醫學院上學; Amy,Jeff的女朋友,她也準備去醫學院學習,是一個聰明而情緒化的人; Stacy是Amy最好的朋友,他的綽號是“Spacy”,是個不負責任的人; Eric,是Stacy的男朋友,他不太成熟;還有一個很有趣的希臘人,大家都叫他“ Pablo”,但是他與其他人缺乏共同語言;Mathias,是一個熱情的、有思想的德國游客。
Mathias' brother, Henrich, vanished shortly before the Americans and Greeks met Mathias—he met a beautiful Dutch archaeologist and decided to meet her at her dig, leaving a hastily drawn map for Mathias to follow in case he wanted to join him. The five others decide to accompany Mathias in his search for his brother, and take a bus to Coba for the day. The poorly drawn map leads them to a Mayan village, where the grievously poor inhabitants appear hostile to the foreigners. Further searching leads them to an almost hidden trail that they follow to the ruins.
Henrich 是Mathias的兄弟,這些美國人和希臘人遇見Mathias之前,Henrich就消失了。因為他遇見了一位美麗的荷蘭考古學家并且決定和她在她的挖掘現場約會,他匆匆地留給Mathias一張繪制的地圖,以便Mathias能跟隨并且希望他能加入。其他5個人決定陪伴Mathias尋找他的兄弟,當天他們就乘公共汽車去了科巴。這個繪制得比較糟糕的地圖帶領他們來到了瑪雅村,那里極度貧窮的居民對出現的外國人特別敵視。之后他們進一步尋找,獲得了一個極為隱蔽的線索,最終到達了廢墟。
Gun,rifle,and bow-and-arrow wielding Mayan villagers force them to climb onto a large hill covered in vines and red flowers, and block their path off the mountain. The situation turns increasingly disturbing as they find Henrich's corpse, covered in the vine and flowers. Further investigation uncovers numerous other corpses covered in the plant, and the plant, it turns out, secretes an acidic sap that burns them all.
瑪雅村民揮動著步槍和弓箭,把他們逼上了一座被藤和紅花覆蓋的小山,封住了他們下山的路。當他們發現了被滕和鮮花覆蓋著的Henrich的尸體時,情況變得非常糟糕。 經過更進一步的研究,他們發現在植物下面還有許多具尸體,而正是這些植物,分泌出一種酸性液體,才燒死了他們。
Under the hill there is a mine, and a ringing cell phone at the bottom lures Pablo, but the rope breaks and he falls. Eric is injured slightly trying to rescue him. Gradually, the group discovers that the vine is sentient and carnivorous. It begins luring them to their deaths, one by one. It can mimic perfectly the voices of others, and uses this ability to separate the others. A drunk Amy is the first to go, strangled by the plant while Jeff, angry at her, ignores her struggles, which he mistakes for drunken sickness. Pablo's legs are eaten by the plant.
山下有個礦井,井底有個正在響的手機,這個聲音吸引住了Pablo,但是由于繩索斷裂,他跌落到了井中。Eric在設法解救Pablo時受了輕傷。漸漸地,這伙人發現藤是有感覺的,而且會吃肉。它誘導他們一個一個地走向死亡。它能很好地仿造其他聲音。醉酒的Amy是第一個去的,被植物扼死。而Jeff對Amy很惱怒,沒有理會她的掙扎,并誤以為她是因醉酒而感到不適。Pablo的腿也被植物吃掉了。
Jeff is able to hold the group together to a certain extent, always with new ideas about how to conquer their challenges. But he is ultimately killed by the villagers' arrows while trying to sneak past them. Airheaded Stacy leaves Pablo unattended, and the plant kills and eats him. Eric flays himself alive trying to remove the plant, and then kills Mathias with his knife in a delusional accident.
Jeff在某種程度上能使這伙人團結在一起,他始終在想辦法戰勝挑戰。但是當他試圖偷偷地通過那些村民時,他卻被他們的箭殺死。自私的Stacy留下無人照顧的Pablo獨自離開,隨后植物殺死并吃掉了他。Eric為了保全自己,設法鏟除植物的時候,由于錯覺,用刀殺死了Mathias。
With only Eric and Stacy left, Eric begs her to kill him and put him out of his misery, which she ultimately does. Then, she decides to leave her dead body as a warning for others, and slashes her wrists on the path at the base of the hill. But the plant moves her away, just as it did other warning signs put up by other victims. The Mayans leave. Three days later, Pablo's Greek friends, with a few Brazilians, climb onto the hill to seek out their traveling companion, bringing several others with them。
由于只剩下了Eric和Stacy,Eric請求她殺死自己,使他脫離苦難,Stacy最終還是那么做了。 然后,她決定留下她的尸體作為給其他人的一個警告,在小山底部的小道上她割腕自殺了。但是植物把她移走了,就像移走其他受害者做的警告信號一樣。 瑪雅人離開了。 3日后,Pablo的希臘朋友和一些巴西人,爬上小山尋找他們旅行的伴侶,帶來了其他的人。
