The film was inspired by the idea of a global doomsday events that coincide with the end of the round Mayan Long Count calendar on or about December 12, 2012 (Solstice winter northern hemisphere).

Curtis Jackson (John Cusack) is a divorced father who worked side as a limousine driver and a writer, while his ex-wife (Amanda Peet) and her children lived together with her new boyfriend, Gordon (Thomas McCarthy).

In the Maya city of Tikal in Guatemala, victims of mass suicide seemed to believe the Mayan calendar, which predicts the end of the world that coincide with parallel Galaktik, which occurred on December 21, 2012, the date of solstice winter in the northern hemisphere. IHC (Institute for Human Continuity), a secret organization, aware of this situation and begin to build a big ark beneath the Himalayas, which are designed to deal with many natural disasters to save humans, certain species, and treasure the most precious human beings when the end finally happened. There is debate about how and when governments of the world will tell their citizens, and how to choose the people who will be saved from this end. Meanwhile, during a day trip to Yellowstone with her two children, Jackson met Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson), who brought his own radio show about the Mayan prediction of December 21, 2012.

Large cracks formed on the San Andreas Fault, California, and even though the government assured everything safe, Jackson was not sure. Renting a private plane and get emergency goods, she went to her house in LA to save his family and Gordon from the earthquake due to movement of the Earth skin. Jackson quickly gathered his family, and after a long journey and dangerous roads that fall into the Santa Monica Airport, the new girlfriend Amanda, Gordon uses his flying ability to save this family. Los Angeles Deluruh the collapse began to sink into the Pacific Ocean. When the plane more fuel shortages, this group saw the possibility to land in Wyoming. Jackson took the opportunity to meet Charlie. Oppose the desire Kate, Jackson and Lily went to find Charlie, although finding an empty van. Through the radio, Charlie tells his audience that he had gone to the mountains to see the end. Jackson took the van to save Charlie, but Charlie refused to go. When Jackson and Lily run away from the erupting volcano, Charlie mentioned a map in the van that will show the route running. Jackson and Lily went back to the aircraft through the lava rock rain. Upon arrival, Lily ran to the plane, but Jackson remained in the van to find the map, and it was too long. When the land is open, the van fell into a gap. Jackson's family fears, but it must go. Jackson held the edge, and ran to the aircraft when the ground continued to fall behind. He entered the plane fast enough.

It is increasingly clear that not only California that experienced a disaster: the Mountain of Fire Super Yellowstone erupts; major earthquake occurred in South America; Washington, DC flooded by the tsunami and the USS John F. Kennedy to destroy the White House and St. Peter's Basilica in Rome collapsed, killing thousands of people. Another tsunami hit New York City, drowning Statue of Liberty. The U.S. government finally announced the end of the world. Jackson and his family must find a way to China to climb the big ships, because the small plane they were not able to do this trip. As they search for new aircraft, all filled with passengers. However, Gordon relies on one of his old clients, Tamara (Beatrice Rosen). He along with Russian billionaire, Yuri Karpov (Zlatko Buric). This family knows that Yuri had brought the plane to escape to China. Jackson asked to allow his family, but Yuri refused. However, the pilot, Sasha (Johann Urb) told that he needed a kopilotdan Jackson said Gordon is a trained pilot. Thus, this group eventually boarded the plane while the airport was destroyed by earthquakes.

When they were in the air, Sasha realized that this plane did not have enough fuel to fly to China. He told Gordon, and they agreed to land in water. Sasha later learned that they were no longer on the sea: the skin of Earth has moved thousands of miles and they point to the Himalayas. Knowing the risk of landing in the snow, Sasha told passengers to go to the storage of cargo and lots of cars stored there, while he and Gordon maintain control and opened the cargo door of the cockpit. Their plan is to remove the car from the cargo storage. Gordon had to leave Sasha and ran to the car in time. Sasha landed in a ravine, which then collapsed. Other group members landed safely. Tamara cried and asked that they return to find Sasha. Before they act, the Chinese helicopter carrying large animals flying above them. One helicopter landed, although these groups know that they must pay for the ride. Yuri pay for himself and his son, but refused to pay for someone else. Before entering the helicopter, he told Tamara that he knew his relationship with Sasha.

This group has no option but the way across the mountains to look for other groups. A car passed, Jackson threw a rock at him. The car turned around and allow them to ride passengers. Inside were a Buddhist monk, Nima (Osric Chau), and her grandmother (Lisa Lu). They went to meet with brothers Nima, Tenzin (Chin Han), who had a plan to sneak into the big ship.

After arriving, Tenzin angry. He told Mima that the plan can not involve a lot of people, and others opted not to join. Jackson and Kate insisted on Tenzin that they bring the kids. After a long debate, Tenzin allow all groups to join.

Jackson and his family tried to sneak into the ship with the help of Tenzin. Carl Anheuser (Oliver Platt), Chief of Staff to the President then ordered the gates closed vessel, while the supply is not enough. When the gate is closed, Tenzin legs crushed and Gordon killed. Dr.Adrian Helmsley, scientific adviser to the President (Chiwetel Ejiofor), was shocked and decided to open the gate to the remaining survivors. Wheels of a gate at the boat traffic and will not close, so the gate half open. Ship's engine could not lit except the gates closed. When the tsunami struck the ship, a broken key support structure, and the ship floated towards Mount Everest. Jackson and Noah try to improve the steering wheel and the gate was closed.
