At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

While driving on vacation with his son Nick Conway (Joseph Cross) in a lonely road, the widow writer Dennis Conway (Kyle MacLachlan) helps a young couple that crashed their classic car out of the road. Dennis uses his van to tow the car back to the road and later Nick finds a duffel bag with an address forgotten by the couple on the ditch. They drive to Springsville to return the bag and after locating the house, they spend the night in town. On the next morning, while waiting for the breakfast, Nick has an accident with a logging truck in the gas station and breaks his leg. They are forced to stay and Nick has a crush on Dr. Sophie Weston (Alison Eastwood) that is treating his son. When Dennis discovers that the dwellers do not get old or sick due to the water of the local spring, Dennis asks Sophie to convince the council of the town to stay in Springsville. However, when he discovers the dark secret of the one hundredth birthday party of the locals, he evaluates his decision."The Spring" is a pleasant made for TV movie about a place like a contemporary Shangri-La. The story has flaws, like for example would the children keep their age forever?; but anyway it is an enjoyable family entertainment. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "O Mistério da Fonte" ("The Mystery of the Fountain")

This made for TV movie is about a father and son, who pass unintentionally by a small town. The story begins with the two coming to the aid of an anxious couple who have crashed their car into a ditch, on a quiet stretch of road. They leave a bag behind, so the father and son attempt to return the bag to the couple, as it has an address on it. After successfully locating the address, they become stranded in the town and are forced to stay. On the morning after, the son gets hurt and is forced to spend some time in the local hospital. Forced to prolong their stay, they begin to mix with the locals. Initially unknown to the father and son, everyone in the town does not age physically. This mystery slowly unravels to them as well as the secret to their eternal youth, and what happens when it is time for one to 'continue the journey'.

I'm watching this movie right now on Lifetime. Why it's on Lifetime, I have no idea--there doesn't seem to be a rapist, pedophile, wifebeater or childbeater in the whole thing. It has the predictable quality of most mainstream science fiction, but without the interesting gadgets or effects of most mainstream science fiction. Why am I watching this?

This made for TV movie is about a father and son who accidently discover a "foutain of youth" in a small town.The son gets hurts and spends some time in the local hosptial.Unknown to the dad and son, everyone is the town has not aged!!The locals allow people to live up to one hundred years old. When this occurs, the locals hold a party and procceds to kill the birthday party guest!The town offers the travelers to stay but they cannot ever leave again!It was OK for the small screen, I just wish they would of had the idea of explaining about the children living there!?Just how are they born and age?Other than that it also asks us about questions about aging and playing god with people's lives!!?The cast was decent, but I wish Alison Eastwood(clint's daughter) character was better developed!!
