Details
Adaline Bowman purchases fake IDs and then opens a box of film reels that highlight historical events. A voiceover tells the story of Adaline's life. She was the first baby born in San Francisco on New Year's Day of 1908. She married and gave birth to a daughter, only to become a widow when her husband died in an accident during the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937. Ten months later, Adaline crashed her car into a ravine and died in the freezing lake in Sonoma County, but a lightning strike revived her. From that moment, Adaline stayed physically 29 years old. Two suspicious FBI agents attempt to abduct her for study, but she escapes and realizes she will have to spend the rest of her life on the run. Ever since, she has periodically changed her identification while her daughter Flemming ages normally. On New Year's Eve 2014, as "Jennifer", she meets Ellis Jones at a party. Knowing she can never fall in love, she initially refuses his request to see her again but accepts the next day when he shows up at her work. In a flashback, Adaline pulls up in a cab to where a man is waiting, holding an engagement ring. She tells the cab driver to keep going. Ellis asks Adaline to his parents' fortieth anniversary party. His father, William, recognizes her instantly and calls her Adaline. She tells him Adaline was her deceased mother. A flashback reveals William was the man with the engagement ring. William is shaken when he notices a scar on Adaline's hand, revealed in a flashback to be a cut Adaline sustained while she and William were hiking together decades ago and which he had stitched himself. He confronts her. She, upset, says she used to be "normal" and doesn't know what changed her. He, for Ellis's sake, begs her not to run but she says she doesn't know how to stay. She writes Ellis a note and leaves. Finding the letter, Ellis confronts his father who refuses to explain. Driving home, Adaline recalls all the times she has run. She stops the car and calls her daughter to tell her she is going to stop running. A flatbed truck plows into her car, pushing it into a ravine. Adaline is ejected from the car and dies from hypothermia. An ambulance crew revives her with a defibrillator and she wakes up in the hospital with Ellis at her bedside. They profess their love for one another, and Adaline tells him of her 107 years of life, always running and afraid of being discovered. A year later, Ellis and Adaline are leaving for a New Year's Eve party when, in the hallway mirror, she notices her first grey hair. When Ellis asks if she is okay, she responds: "Yes, perfect."
