Set in a too-near future where time at once stands still and is slipping
away forever, the writer/director explores what people will do and how
they will feel when humanity's end is near. A 70-mile-wide asteroid is
en route to Earth, and the last best attempt to counter it has failed.
Also failing is the marriage of soft-spoken insurance salesman Dodge
(Golden Globe Award winner Steve Carell); the breaking news that the
world will end in an estimated 21 days cues his wife to leave him on the
spot. Dodge is a man who has always played by the rules of life, while
his neighbor Penny (Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley) is an
extroverted woman who hasn'T. From these opposite perspectives, both
initially choose to navigate the impending end of the world with
blinders on. Dodge declines joining his friends in increasingly reckless
behavior, while Penny fixates on her relationship issues with a
self-absorbed musician. The two misfits meet first when Penny has a
rough night and then again when she belatedly delivers Dodge a lost
letter. That letter could alter Dodge's future; it's from his
high-school sweetheart Olivia, the love of his life. When a riot breaks
out around their apartment building, Dodge realizes that he must seek
Olivia out before it's too late while Penny makes the decision to spend
her last days with family in England. Seizing the moment, Dodge promises
to help Penny reach her family if she will provide transport for the
two of them in her car immediately. She agrees, and they escape. On the
road together, the unlikely traveling companions' respective personal
journeys accelerate, and their outlooks - if not the world's - brighten.
