Plot

Charlie St. Cloud (Zac Efron) is a sailor who wins a professional boating race on his sailboat, the "Splendid Splinter", along with his younger brother Sam (Charlie Tahan and Chris Massoglia). He subsequently receives a sailing scholarship to Stanford University. Charlie graduates from high school and after getting home from his graduation ceremony, Charlie promises Sam that they will practice baseball together every day until he leaves for Stanford; at sunset when the Boston Yacht Club's ceremonial cannons sound. Later that night, Charlie was supposed to go to a graduation party with his friends, but his mother Claire (Kim Basinger) makes him babysit Sam while she picks up another shift at her job as a nurse. When Sam is watching television, Charlie tries to sneak out and go to the party. But he is caught by Sam when he turns his headlights on, and Sam asks Charlie to drive him to his friend Tommy's house. At first Charlie refuses, but gives in when Sam makes compliments about his car. While driving, Charlie and Sam talk about Charlie's departure and horseplay until they get into a bad car accident at a traffic signal. Their car, is rear ended by a pickup truck, forcing them into the path of a Mack truck in a T-bone collision. Although a paramedic named Florio Ferrente (Ray Liotta) revives Charlie, Sam succumbs to his wounds and dies in Charlie's arms as he sobs in horror. As his final wish, Sam asks Charlie to never leave him alone again, saying that if he does, they will always be together as brothers. At Sam's funeral, a broken-hearted Charlie runs off after refusing to put Sam's baseball glove in the grave. After a heartbroken run through the neighboring woods, Charlie finds Sam's spirit and discovers that Sam can interact with him on the physical plane. After their reunion, Charlie fulfills Sam's dying wish by practicing baseball with him every day at sunset, in the canyon, after the sounding of the cannons.
Five years later, Charlie, who gave up his scholarship and mournful over Sam's loss, is now caretaker at Waterside Cemetery. During a trip into town, Charlie visits the boat docks and meets Tess Carroll (Amanda Crew), a sailor who dreams of one day sailing around the world. The following day, Charlie runs into Florio Ferrente, the paramedic who saved his life. Ferrente is dying of cancer and questions Charlie if he ever wonders why he was saved and tells him there is a reason for his gift. Charlie returns to the cemetery and finds Tess injured, with whom he develops a relationship. Meanwhile, Sam begins to feel that Charlie is forgetting him when Charlie arrives late for their game of catch. However, Tess follows Charlie as he explains to her that the more he is in her world, the less he can be in Sam's.
Later, Charlie discovers that Tess had gone missing while sailing through a storm a few days earlier, revealing that Charlie could see her just like he could Sam. Ferrente's wife Carla comes to Charlie and tells him that Ferrente had died the previous night and to give him his St. Jude medal that he wore the night Charlie was revived. While visiting Sam, Charlie examines the pendant and finds a piece of paper with the words "find me" written on it and remembers Tess saying that to him. It is then that Charlie realizes that Tess is not dead and that he has to find her to save her life. Along with his friend Alistair and Tess's coach, Charlie and the group take a boat to find Tess based on Charlie's instincts that he knows where she is. The following sunset, Charlie finally misses his game with Sam. As Charlie apologizes, Sam simply tells Charlie that he loves him and takes off as a shooting star to point out Tess' location. The group finds Tess' wrecked boat along with her lying on the rocks. Charlie uses his body heat to keep themselves warm until they are eventually found by a Coast Guard Jayhawk.
Charlie and Tess are taken to the hospital where Alistair tells Charlie that Tess had hypothermia and that he saved her. Later, Charlie purchases an old boat and asks Tess if she would like to take a ride with him. However, Tess fears him explaining that she had been having vivid dreams about them together. Charlie tells Tess that her dreams are memories and recites a quote from her dad's funeral that they had spoken about in her dreams. Charlie decides to resign from his job and goes into the forest to reminisce and say farewell to an older Sam (Chris Massoglia in an unreleased alternate ending), telling him they'll always be brothers, before leaving the forest with Tess. During the credits, Charlie and Tess finally sail around the world and say goodbye to the citizens in their town.

剧情简介
　　查理·圣克劳德（扎克·艾夫隆饰）和山姆·圣克劳德（查理·塔韩饰）是一对感情深厚的亲兄弟，两人一起打球、一同驾着喜爱的帆船出海，时刻分享着成长的快乐。然而，一次交通意外夺走了弟弟山姆年幼的生命，情感上深受打击的哥哥查理悲痛万分。他决定亲自为弟弟的坟墓做守卫。奇怪的是，当查理每晚来到弟弟的墓前，山姆好似复活了一般，灵魂与哥哥再度回到了那幸福的从前。两人就这样继续着成长的快乐……
　　有一天，查理遇见了一位同样喜欢运动喜欢航海的美丽女孩儿，他的内心从此发生了改变。但他对弟弟的眷恋却也同样无法割舍，查理陷入了两难境地。而山姆却极力鼓励哥哥去追求美好的新生活，为了他为了自己都要勇敢地面对未来……
故事发展
　　碧海蓝天，船帆点点。金色的阳光下，浅褐发的男孩敏捷地拉动着缆绳。只见洁白的浪花欢快地吻着船身，小船乘风破浪，冲向了终点。又是第一！远处岸上，传来了女孩们花痴的尖叫。男孩的嘴角便潇洒地舒展开来，勾出一道漂亮的圆弧。他叫查理·圣克劳德（扎克·埃夫隆），是全家的希望、小镇的骄傲和大多数女孩心目中的梦中情人。非凡的帆船技能，让他获得了斯坦福大学的全额奖学金。对于离开一成不变的家乡小镇之后的生活，查理心底充满了憧憬。可这即将到来的一切改变，却让满心崇拜着他的弟弟山姆（查理·塔恩）不知所措。虽然查理答应弟弟会在离家去上大学之前每天陪弟弟一起练习棒球，但山姆仍有些闷闷不乐。
　　那一天，他们又一次在车上因为查理的离家争吵起来。“你巴不得早点离开！”“我不会抛弃你！我又不是爸爸……”下一秒，斜里杀出一辆大货车。查理只记得，弟弟伤心的小脸在亮得碍眼的车头黄灯的映射下，渐渐模糊。撕心裂肺的恸哭，已唤不回年幼的山姆。在弟弟墓前，查理死死拽着他们一起用过的棒球手套不肯松手，泪眼迷蒙。然而，阳光婆娑的树林里，他却恍惚看到了山姆的模样。不对！那分明就是完整无缺的山姆！“你来迟了。”山姆笑着对他说。是神迹？是幻觉？还是上天眷顾，让山姆的灵魂流连人世？无论如何，查理都欣喜若狂。他破涕为笑。是的，他将履行自己和弟弟定下的承诺，在离开之前，每天陪弟弟一起练习棒球。只是，为了哪怕能多一秒回到幸福的从前，他再也不会因为任何理由离开家乡。
　　从此，查理不再是那个乘风破浪的男孩。放弃了奖学金，放弃了闯荡四海，放弃了人人艳羡的未来，在外人眼里，甘愿在弟弟所埋葬的墓园工作的查理不过是个神神叨叨的傻瓜蛋。之后的五年里，查理的大部分时间被繁琐的杂工和与弟弟玩耍占据，直到遇上了同样喜欢运动喜欢航海的美丽女孩苔丝（阿曼达·克鲁）。他爱上了开朗活泼的苔丝，渴望航游海域的内心又一次蠢蠢欲动。这，让无法割舍对弟弟的眷恋的查理，陷入了两难境地……
看点
　　花季雨季的日子，是什么样的光景?是关于音乐梦想、畅快生活的“歌舞青春”，还是关于勇敢去爱、不曾后悔的“重返十七岁”?翻开本·舍伍德的畅销小说，再度携手合作愉快的导演博尔·斯蒂尔斯(《重返十七岁》)，万众瞩目的偶像小子扎克·埃夫隆继续挑战温情的文艺正剧。成长之痛，虽换成了严肃的面孔，却依旧是关于梦想与情感。只不过这一次，漩涡里除了那个明眸善睐的漂亮女子，最中心的却是兄弟情深。为此，埃夫隆推掉了经典歌舞剧翻拍的邀约，剧组为选角大费周章，只为了记忆青春年代的刻骨铭心。
　　或许是埃夫隆始终跟歌舞片有缘，给本片操刀的编剧之一，正是曾打磨过《红磨坊》剧本的写手。而关于本片的爱情层面，粉丝们大可不必担心，因为这位编剧，同样也曾替《现代版罗密欧与朱丽叶》出谋划策。或许因为电影的重点在于励志与救赎，编剧中的另一位则来自《十月的天空》。人家能让山里小屁孩造出火箭来，帮航海小青年恢复梦想自是小菜一碟。
　　其实跌到谷底从头再来也好，兄弟情深不肯放手也罢，兜来转去，这段并不残酷却也并不怎么飞扬的青春物语，其实重心总在于那张俊俏的面孔。从少年时的意气风发，到痛失亲人的落魄，再到充满活力的少女的出现，直至最后喧嚣落定未来无限，一切的一切，如果你非要扭着说有何新意，那不是你疯癫了就是我无语了。可很少有谁会讨厌在火热的夏天看超人气花样美男上演催泪弹。尽管有很多粉丝抱怨，因为埃夫隆长得太英俊，反而让并不算特别漂亮的女主角有些难堪。
