For those not familiar with it, the film centers on a group of elderly residents at a retirement home who find themselves feeling younger after a dip in the center's pool. As it turns out, the pool is being used to host cocoons of an alien race. The cocoons emit a life force that provides regenerative powers to the retirees. Brimley played one of the elderly residents in the film at the tender age of 50.
