Read 'Us' Ending, Explained: What the "Tethers" Actually Wanted, and Jeremiah 11:11 on Inverse.com here: inverse.com/article/54214-us-movie-ending-explained-jordan-peele
Part of what makes the story of Us so brilliant is in its final reveal. In the film’s prologue, set in Santa Cruz Beach in 1986, a young Adelaide (played by child actor Madison Curry) wanders into a hall of mirrors that connects to the home of the Tethers underground. On that fateful night, Adelaide meets Red, her double, and Red quickly “switches” places with her.

This is why, to Adelaide’s parents, she had “changed” after the beach. This is why Adelaide didn’t speak and was so unlike herself. It was because she literally wasn’t their daughter. Adelaide’s parents had unwittingly adopted the clone of their daughter, who eventually learned to live above ground, grow up, marry, and suppress the memories of her life in the tunnels.
Meanwhile, the “real” Adelaide was left abandoned with the Tethers. To survive, she clung onto her few precious bits of life on the surface, including her Hands Across America T-shirt. This influenced her to organize the Tethers — since she was the only one who could speak — to help her return to the outside world.
This is what makes the final shot of the movie chilling. While the Wilsons survive the film, the fact that they’ve been living with Red — and not the real Adelaide all this time — and escape with her, means you’re never quite sure who people really are. Even if they’re family.
