The Ruins follows two American couples, just out of
college, enjoying a pleasant, lazy beach holiday together
in Mexico as, on an impulse, they go off with newfound
friends in search of one of their groupβthe young German,
who, in pursuit of a girl, has headed for the remote Mayan
ruins, site of a fabled archeological dig.
This is what happens from the moment the searchersβmoving
into the wild interiorβbegin to suspect that there is an
insidious, horrific "other" among them . . .
