The opening scene of the movie shows a give asteroid which is

within some hours. The next scene shows a man James with his girlfriend Zoe. Zoe
tells him that she is pregnant. They get emotional; because they know that
within 12 hours, the thunders will reach too Australia too and they will die. James
doesn’t care much and heads to go for a party because this is going to be the
last party in his life and in the world. The name of the party is ‘The party to
end all parties’. He drives the car and on his way, he keeps on drinking. He
sees that the people on the way are praying for their life.
After driving for some time, he sees a stop sign so he stops the
car. A man forcefully enters to his car and shows him a knife and tells him to
drive where he says. He takes him to the location and then he kills a man
there. James gets afraid and runs from there. The man tries to catch him but James
successfully escapes. While hiding, he sees two men coming out of the van with
a little girl. They forcefully take her inside a house. Since James had to get
out of that place, he takes that van but he feels like he shouldn’t leave the
little girl like that. So he kills both the men and saves the little girl.
He takes the girl to help her reach home. On the way, she tells him
that her name is Rose. And she adds that her father burnt their house because
they had a lot of memories in that house. He didn’t want anyone to come to his
house and live. They were on their way in the car when the petrol finished and
her father went to bring the petrol and they got separated from there. After
that, she got kidnapped. She says that they have to go to the same petrol pump.
They head towards there. She find her father’s car there but they don’t find
him there. So she says James to drop her to her aunt’s home because her father
might have gone there. James says that the place is very far so he tells Rose
to stay at his sister’s house. At first, Rose says that she wants to be with
her father at the very last moments of her life but because she doesn’t have
any option, so she goes with him. In his sister’s house, he sees that all the
members have been killed. He doesn’t feel like Rose should see that and hence
he tells Rose tostay at the swimming pool and swim.
At this moment also James wants to go for the party. He goes to
the garage and takes the jeep. Rose sees him and asks him to take her with him
so that she may find anyone in the party who might know her aunt. On the way, James
sees a policeman and his family entering to the library. He feels that the
place may be safe for Rose. But the policeman’s wife tells them to go away. The
policeman looks very sad and tells James to kill everyone because he doesn’t
want to live in the fear of getting killed. James declines that and they head towards
the party.
They reach to the party and see everyone enjoying. The party was
hosted by his friend. His friend’s sister was his ex-girlfriend. She takes him
inside to get intimate with him. But James can’t do that because he is in the
grief of loosing his sister and her family. Now his ex-girlfriend takes him to
the bunker and says that they will be saved in the explosion. But James
declines that and says that not any bunker is going to save them. She gets
angry and stressed with his words. James gets out of there and sees that Rose
is vomiting because of some intoxicants given to her by the unknowns. He takes Rose
from there and goes to his mother’s house. His mother asks him about his
sister but he can’t tell anything about her. His mom asks him about Rose and he
tells her everything. James feels that he should take Rose to her aunt’s house and
hence he asks for petrol from his mother, bids ‘Final Goodbye’ to his mom.
He takes her to her aunt’s home. There seems to be no one in the
house but James finds out that her father has been killed. Rose also sees that.
She becomes very sad. James asks her to come with him but she says that she
loved her father so very much that she can’t leave him when the world is
ending. He tells Rose that he too, is going to be a father. He tells her about Zoe.
Rose says him that he should have been with Zoe at such a time. Actually, James
left Zoe in such time because he felt sad as Zoe gave him such news when the
world was ending. Looking at Rose he finds out how beautiful a bond between
father and a daughter is. Rose says that
it has not been late and hence he should go to Zoe’s place.
James gets emotional while leaving Rose because he could see the
reflection of his daughter in Rose’s eyes. James doesn’t have much time. His
petrol also gets finished and hence he goes running to his house. But he finds
that Zoe is not there. He looks at the sea and finds her at the beach. James
asks pardon to her but she looks very angry because he left her in such time.
On the other hand, they saw a huge fire with thunder coming towards them. They
hug each other because they love each other. They take their final breaths in
each other’s arms and leave the world with all the other humans since the world
comes to the end. The movie teaches us to always express love to our loved ones
because we don’t know what the next moment is and we may not even get a chance
to show what we feel for them just because of our silly fights and ego; because
we never know!
