In 2009, American geologist Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) travels to India to meet his friend Satnam, who has discovered that neutrinos from a massive solar flare have penetrated the Earth and are causing the temperature of its core to increase rapidly. Adrian returns to Washington D.C. to inform White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser (Oliver Platt) and US President Thomas Wilson (Danny Glover) that this will instigate a chain of events that will bring about the end of the world. At the 36th G8 summit in 2010, other heads of state and heads of government are made aware of the situation. They collaborate to begin a secret project intended to ensure the continuity of human life, strategically choosing 400,000 people for admission on a series of gigantic arks to be constructed in the Himalayas. To help fund the venture, additional individuals are allowed to purchase tickets for one billion euros apiece.
In 2012, Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) is a writer in Los Angeles who works part time as a limousine driver for Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov. Jackson's ex-wife Kate (Amanda Peet) and their children Noah and Lily live with her new boyfriend, plastic surgeon and amateur pilot Gordon. Jackson takes Noah and Lily on a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park, where they meet Charlie Frost, a radio show host and conspiracy theorist. Charlie supports a theory that suggests the Mayans predicted the world would come to an end in 2012, and claims he has knowledge of the ark project and possesses a map of the arks' location. The family returns home as cracks begin to develop along the San Andreas Fault in California and earthquakes occur in the San Francisco Bay area. Jackson grows suspicious and rents a private plane to rescue his family. He collects his family and Gordon when the Earth's crust displacement begins and they escape Los Angeles as it collapses into the Pacific Ocean.
As millions begin dying in apocalyptic earthquakes worldwide, the group flies to Yellowstone to retrieve Charlie's map. The group narrowly escapes as the Yellowstone Caldera erupts. Charlie, who stayed behind to make a live broadcast of the eruption, is killed by the blast. Realizing the arks are in China, the group lands in Las Vegas, where they meet Yuri, his twin sons, girlfriend Tamara, and pilot Sasha. They join the group and secure a larger plane, the Antonov An-225, to head across the Pacific. Also bound for the arks aboard Air Force One are Anheuser, Adrian, and First Daughter Laura Wilson. President Wilson remained in Washington D.C. to address the nation one last time. He is soon killed by a tsunami that sends the USS John F. Kennedy crashing into the White House. With the Vice President dead and the Speaker of the House missing, Anheuser appoints himself acting Commander-in-Chief.
Sasha discovers that the plane doesnt have enough fuel to get to china, so they have to make a crash landing in the ocean. But as they get near the ground, they discover that they are indeed in china. The earths crusts have shifted.
Yuri, who has purchased ark tickets for himself and his sons, deserts the Curtis family, Gordon, and Tamara upon arriving in China. However, the abandoned group is picked up by Nima, a Buddhist monk. Together, they begin sneaking onto an ark through its hydraulics chamber with the help of Nima's brother Tenzin, a welder for the ark project. In his last moments, Satnam calls Adrian to inform him that a tsunami is engulfing India and heading towards the arks. Learning of this, Anheuser orders the arks be sealed before the boarding process is complete, trapping thousands outside. Adrian manages to convince the other G8 leaders to let the remaining people on board. As the ark's tailgate is lowered, Gordon is killed when he falls in between the gears, followed by Tenzin's large electrical power drill. Yuri sacrifices his life to get his two sons on in time, but the obstruction prevents the gate from closing, rendering the ship unable to start its engines. The tsunami arrives and begins to flood the ark, drowning Tamara and setting the ark helplessly adrift. Jackson and Noah work together to free the drill and its cable from the closing mechanism. The gate closes and the crew regains control of the ark, preventing a fatal collision with Mount Everest.
A title appears that says "Day 27 Month 00 Year 00"
When the floodwater from the worldwide tsunamis eventually recedes, satellite data shows that Africa rose in relation to sea level, and its Drakensberg mountains are now the highest on the planet. As the arks set sail for the Cape of Good Hope, Jackson reconciles with his family, and Adrian starts a relationship with Laura. The movie ends with a view of the Earth revealing all continents have merged, and are in the shape of the African continent.
在2009年，一位美国科学家Adrian Helmsley博士被卷入一个在印度的研究项目，在其中，他的同事萨坦姆发现了一个十分神秘但令人震惊的真相:太阳表层风暴正在对地球产生着足以致命的影响。之后，博士联络了他的一位朋友赫斯里——他也是一位年轻的总统科学顾问，并传达了这场骇人的消息。赫斯里试图向总统报告这一令人不安的发现，但却被他长期不受待见的安修斯——自付狂妄的白宫管理部部长 所不了了之了。
自此到了2010年，总统开始意识到一些征兆的发生，便召集8国集团的成员国举行在西班牙的秘密磋商，而他要告诉其他领导人的事实是：世界最顶尖的科学家已经承认世界正在走向消亡。期间，我国伟大的PLA正在西）藏）进行着浩瀚的大工程--迁徙所有的村庄和人口，并建造一个超级大水坝。
到了2011年，更多令人费解的现象愈演愈烈，一个极其富有的沙特商人，决定捐出超过10亿美元给英国军/情/6/处和世界文化遗产基金会（其会长即总统的女儿劳拉），把许多传世珍宝如《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》用赝品替换，并把真迹都贮藏在位于阿尔卑斯山的秘密仓库。
中遇到了2012年，走向毁灭的步伐径直向前……美国西海岸出现了许多“小型地震”，在世界各地冒出许多地裂的征兆。尽管如此，人们依然一如既往着日常生活，并对即将到来的灾难毫无察觉。其中我们的主角杰克逊，一位热情并清醒的作家，正开着车去接他在位于洛杉矶的前妻的两个孩子，莉莉和诺亚 ，并打算带着他们去黄石国家公园进行露营。但当他看到他前妻的现任丈夫——高高挂起的整形大夫高登，他所期待的那份和自己孩子重新团聚的欣喜之情一下冷却了下来。接着镜头转到了一位老爵士音乐家哈瑞，他既是那位总统科学顾问赫斯里的父亲，正当他在旧金山一海岸边的游轮上表演途中，他试图说服他的乐队老友托尼给他远在日本并与之不和的儿子打个电话的时候，突然整艘游轮北海底冒出剧烈的力量彻底掀翻……镜头转到华盛顿，当总统的女儿劳拉接到一个来自法国的抓狂的博物馆馆长的电话时，那位馆长怒斥她所在的基金会是彻头彻尾的骗子时，馆长所在的轿车突然爆炸了。劳拉逐渐意识到她被某个势力利用了，而一系列的背后操纵者恰恰就是他父亲和科学顾问赫斯里。
期间，当作家杰克逊带着他的孩子最终抵达黄石的时候，他们发现所在区域已经被封锁，而没有人能够告诉他们到底是怎么回事。杰克逊刚好碰到了一位热衷爆料的电台主持人，这个怪人相信毁灭将从加州开始，遍及黄石，最后全世界。杰克逊开始将信将疑，但事实告诉他洛杉矶出现的越来越多的裂开的地缝已经开始越变越大，一发不可收拾。
事情越来越糟，并且已无法预料的速度进行着……关于真相的暗示也逐渐浮出水面——世界的精英和有钱人正在建造一个巨型的大船，而里面藏着人类能够拥有的足够物质，直到灾难结束，只有船里的人会重新出来重建文明，繁衍人类。剩下的人都将被浩劫洗劫，简单的来说，这将是挪亚方舟的翻版。
接下来就是暴露的5分钟的超常片断，杰克逊开车赶回洛杉矶，把他的前妻和其现任丈夫都接走，并开着飞机逃离了已经被彻底毁灭的洛杉矶。出人意料的是，杰克逊绝对辗转回到黄石，以找到那个“疯子电台主持人”，并希望能够从他的口中得到能够幸存的方法。但是令人无法想象的是，当他们刚抵达黄石，黄石早已成为了世界最大的活火山。同时，那些自作聪明的精英们准备开始计划好的方舟计划……
最后地震，海啸，火山爆发，火山灰……我们的主角们开始了逃亡的全球之旅……还记得我国的大坝么？其真正的目的其实是……………………最后，全球将被淹没在一片浩瀚的汪洋中，能否幸存？生死未卜！
