Hot Tub Time Machine 1 🎥 2010 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Three estranged middle-aged friends—Adam Yates, a workaholic who was dumped by his girlfriend; Nick Webber-Agnew, a neglected husband who works a dead-end job; and Lou Dorchen, an alcoholic slacker—reconnect when Lou is hospitalized with carbon monoxide poisoning. Although Lou denies that he attempted suicide, Adam and Nick attempt to cheer him up by arranging for him to join them and Adam’s socially inept nephew Jacob at Kodiak Valley Ski Resort, where the three enjoyed themselves as youths. When they arrive, they find that the town is not what it used to be, with many of the stores boarded up and the hotel run down.

While drinking in their hotel room’s hot tub, the four accidentally douse the console with a Russian energy drink. The next day, they go skiing; after many strange occurrences, they realize they have accidentally traveled back to 1986. Adam, Lou, and Nick have also assumed their younger bodies, though Jacob’s appearance is unchanged since he was not born yet, and he occasionally flickers in and out of reality. A cryptic repairman appears and warns them not to change anything as it might affect history. To minimize the butterfly effect, the group plans to re-enact their previous experiences.

Adam has to break up with his girlfriend Jenny and get stabbed in the eye with a fork, Lou must pick a fight with and get beaten up by ski patrol bully Blaine, and Nick must have sex with a groupie and perform with his band at an open mic. They also find Kelly, Adam’s sister and Jacob’s mother, at the resort. The three find their tasks difficult. Lou gets punched by Blaine and loses his backpack, but realizes he must face him again later at night, so he reluctantly challenges him again. Adam becomes attracted to Jenny again and loses the will to break up with her, but is distracted when he meets free-spirited music journalist April during a concert.
