Ron Howard's 1985 sci-fi drama in which benevolent aliens dredge up 'cocoons' holding their own kind from the seabed—and a swimming pool charged with life force restores youth to a group of Florida retirees.
Cocoon frames its visitors as gentle rescuers rather than invaders. Aliens from Antarea pass as humans, rent a Florida house with a pool, and boat out to lift 'cocoons' from the ocean floor—each holding a comrade left behind 10,000 years ago. Charging the pool with life force to revive the pods, they accidentally rejuvenate the retirees who sneak in for a swim. The craft finally rises from the sea to carry away those who choose to leave, folding a UFO and an unidentified submerged object into a fable about aging, illness and death. It stands among the 1980s wave of benevolent-alien films.[1]
