Product Details

Cocoon: A group of senior citizens residing in a rest home find their lives turned upside down
after they are offered the gift of eternal youth by benevolent aliens in Ron Howard's wonderful
tribute to the human spirit. Brian Dennehy is Walter, an alien who returns to earth to rescue 20
of his friends now hibernating in cocoons off the coast of Florida. With the help of a charter boat
captain (Steve Guttenberg), the cocoons are stored in a deserted swimming pool. When three
men from a nearby retirement village (the charming Don Ameche, Wilford Brimley, and Hume
Cronyn) sneak into the pool for a swim, they discover what seem to be oversized oystershells
in the water. Suddenly they feel physically and spiritually rejuvenated, believing they've found the
long elusive Fountain of Youth. The men's frisky behavior causes something of a controversy in
the retirement village as residents are forced to choose between a second youth or accepting the
more natural aging process...

Cocoon - The Return: When the space travellers return to Earth on a special rescue mission,
they are reunited with their own families and friends who they left behind when they were offered
the gift of eternal youth by benevolent aliens. To their delight they soon realise that Earth isn't the
worst planet in the galaxy!
