冰風暴

康涅狄格州郊區，1973 年。當水門事件的聽證會從電視中傳出時，任性的胡德和卡弗一家試圖度過感恩節假期，其中充滿了不言而喻的怨恨、性實驗和文化混亂。 憑藉晶瑩剔透的清晰度、特有的微妙之處，甚至是一劑邪惡的幽默。

Suburban Connecticut, 1973. While the Watergate hearings blast from the TV, the wayward Hood and Carver families try to navigate a Thanksgiving break simmering with unspoken resentments, sexual experimentation, and cultural confusion. With crystalline clarity, characteristic subtlety, and even a dose of wicked humour.

這部電影以 1973 年感恩節週末為背景，圍繞兩個家庭展開：

胡德家族（Ben 和 Elena 以及他們的孩子 Paul 和 Wendy）
他們的鄰居 Carvers（Jim 和 Janey，以及他們的孩子 Mikey 和 Sandy）
本胡德（對他的婚姻不滿意，並且對他的職業生涯的徒勞無功）與珍妮卡弗有染。 他的妻子埃琳娜（Elena）對自己的生活感到厭煩，並希望擴展自己的思維（儘管不確定如何去做）。 年輕的溫迪胡德喜歡與卡弗男孩和她的學校同齡人進行性遊戲。 保羅胡德在他就讀的寄宿學校愛上了同班同學利貝茨。 （他的室友弗朗西斯也對她感興趣。）

在感恩節後的星期五晚上，胡德夫婦在得知他與珍妮的婚外情后發生了爭執。 儘管如此，他們還是按照計劃去參加鄰里聚會。 結果證明這是一個“鑰匙派對”，已婚夫婦“交換”性伴侶，通過每個女人從每個男人貢獻一套的碗中選擇一組鑰匙。

Jim 和 Janey Carver 也在場； 隨著聚會的進行，本喝醉了。 珍妮選擇了一位英俊青年的鑰匙。 這讓 Ben 很吃驚，他絆了一下，頭撞在咖啡桌上。 尷尬的是，他退到浴室裡，在那裡度過了一個晚上。

其他關鍵派對參與者結對離開，直到只剩下吉姆和埃琳娜。 她從碗裡取出吉姆的鑰匙，並把它們還給了他。 在討論完這個問題後，吉姆和埃琳娜一起離開，在吉姆的汽車前座進行了一次快速而笨拙的性接觸。 吉姆——後悔他和埃琳娜剛剛越過界線——提議開車送她回家。

溫蒂決定去卡佛家見米奇，但他決定去冰風暴裡； 她和桑迪一起爬上床，脫掉衣服。 在他們喝了一瓶伏特加酒後，溫蒂試圖勾引他，他們都睡著了。

保羅被邀請到利貝茨在曼哈頓的公寓，但在抵達時很失望地得知弗朗西斯也被邀請了。 三人喝啤酒，聽音樂； 弗朗西斯和利貝茨還服用了利貝茨母親藥櫃中的處方藥，最終導致他們昏倒。 保羅決定離開，只是勉強搭上了去新迦南的火車。

與此同時，在暴風雨中行走的米奇被冰雪覆蓋的樹木和田野的美麗迷住了。 他滑下一座冰冷的山丘，然後坐在護欄上休息。 片刻後，一根電線被一棵倒下的大樹折斷，與護欄相連，將他觸電。

吉姆和埃琳娜也被一棵倒下的樹困住了，黎明時分回到雕刻家的房子； 埃琳娜走進她的女兒和躺在床上的桑迪，讓她穿好衣服； 珍妮回家了； 蜷縮在胎兒的位置，在她的床上，仍然穿著她的派對衣服。

Ben此時已經清醒了，開始開車回家。 他在路邊發現了 Mikey 的屍體，並把它帶回了 Carvers 家。 米奇的死將兩個家庭拉到了一起，溫蒂擁抱了震驚和麻木的桑迪，試圖安慰他。 吉姆被摧毀了，而珍妮則睡著了，對最近發生的事情一無所知。 Ben、Elena 和 Wendy 隨後驅車前往火車站接保羅，他的火車因結冰和電線倒塌造成的電力故障而延誤。 四個人一起上車後，Ben 崩潰了，當 Elena 安慰他時，Ben 控制不住地抽泣，而 Paul 面無表情地看著。

Set over Thanksgiving weekend, 1973, the film centers around two families:

the Hoods (Ben and Elena and their children, Paul and Wendy)
their neighbors, the Carvers (Jim and Janey, and their children, Mikey and Sandy)
Ben Hood (dissatisfied in his marriage, and with the futility of his career) is having an affair with Janey Carver. His wife, Elena, is bored with her own life, and looking to expand her thinking (though unsure of how to do so). The young Wendy Hood enjoys sexual games with the Carver boys and with her school peers. Paul Hood has fallen for Libbets, a classmate, at the boarding school he attends. (His roommate Francis is also interested in her.)

On the Friday night after Thanksgiving, the Hoods have an argument, upon her learning of his affair with Janey. Nevertheless they go ahead with their plans to attend a neighborhood party. It turns out to be a ”key party”, in which married couples ”swap” sexual partners, by means of each woman selecting a set of keys, from a bowl to which each man has contributed one set.

Jim and Janey Carver also are there; as the party progresses, Ben becomes drunk. Janey chooses the keys of a handsome young man. This surprises Ben and he trips, knocking his head on the coffee table. In his embarrassment, he retreats to the bathroom, remaining there for the rest of the evening.

The other key-party participants are paired off and leave, until only Jim and Elena remain. She retrieves Jim’s keys from the bowl and returns them to him. After debating the issue, Jim and Elena leave together, engaging in a quick, clumsy sexual encounter in the front seat of Jim’s car. Jim – regretting the line that he and Elena have just crossed – offers to drive her home.

Wendy decides to make her way to the Carvers’ to see Mikey, but he has decided to go out into the ice storm; she and Sandy climb into bed together and remove their clothes. After they drink from a bottle of vodka, and Wendy tries to seduce him, they both fall asleep.

Paul is invited to Libbets’ apartment in Manhattan, though upon arriving, is disappointed to learn that Francis was also invited. The three drink beer and listen to music; Francis and Libbets also take prescription pills found in Libbets’ mother’s medicine cabinet, causing them, eventually, to pass out. Paul decides to leave, and just narrowly makes the train to New Canaan.

Meanwhile, Mikey, out walking in the storm, is enchanted by the beauty of the trees and fields covered in ice. He slides down an icy hill then sits on a guardrail to rest. A moment later a power line is broken by a falling tree, and connects with the guardrail, electrocuting him.

Jim and Elena also become stuck, due to a downed tree, and return to the Carvers’ house as dawn is breaking; Elena walks in on her daughter and Sandy in bed, and tells her to get dressed; Janey returns home; curling up in the fetal position, on her bed, still in her party clothes.

Ben, having sobered up by this time, begins driving home. He discovers Mikey’s body on the side of the road, and carries it back to the Carvers’ house. The two families are drawn together by Mikey’s death, and Wendy hugs the shocked and numbed Sandy in an attempt to comfort him. Jim is devastated, while Janey remains asleep and oblivious to the recent events. Ben, Elena, and Wendy then drive to the train station to pick up Paul, whose train was delayed by the ice and by the power failure caused by the downed wire. Once all four are together in the car, Ben breaks down, sobbing uncontrollably at the wheel as Elena comforts him while Paul watches with no emotions.
