Plot:
In 2009, Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor), an American geologist, visits astrophysicist Dr. Satnam Tsurutani (Jimi Mistry) in India and learns that neutrinos from a massive solar flare are causing the temperature of the Earth's core to increase rapidly. Adrian gives a report on this to White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser (Oliver Platt) who ends up taking Adrian to meet the President of the United States.
In 2010, President Thomas Wilson (Danny Glover)
and other international leaders begin a secret project to ensure
humanity's survival. Approximately 400,000 persons are chosen to board
"arks" that are constructed at Cho Ming, Tibet, in the Himalayas. At the same time as the People's Liberation Army are gathering volunteers, a Buddhist monk named Nima (Osric Chau) is evacuated while his brother Tenzin (Chin Han)
joins the workers in the Ark project. Additional funding for the
project is raised by selling tickets to the private sector for €1 billion
per person. By 2011, humanity's valuable treasures are moved to the
Alps under the guise of protecting them from terrorist attacks with the
help of art expert and First Daughter Dr. Laura Wilson (Thandie Newton).
In 2012, Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) is a science fiction writer in Los Angeles who works part-time as a limousine driver for the Russian billionaire, Yuri Karpov (Zlatko Burić). Jackson's ex-wife, Kate (Amanda Peet) and their children Noah (Liam James) and Lilly (Morgan Lily) live with Kate's boyfriend, plastic surgeon Gordon Silberman (Thomas McCarthy).
Jackson takes Noah and Lilly camping in Yellowstone National Park. After an encounter with Helmsley, they meet Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson), who hosts a radio show from the park. Charlie plays a video of Charles Hapgood's theory that polar shifts and the Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar predict that the 2012 phenomenon
will occur. He has a map of the ark project in addition to information
about officials and scientists from around the world who were murdered
after planning to alert the public. The family returns home as seismic activity violently increases along the San Leandro Fault Line. Jackson grows suspicious and rents a plane to rescue his family. He collects his family and Gordon as the Earth crust displacement begins, and they narrowly escape Los Angeles as the city flips into the Pacific Ocean.
As millions die in catastrophic earthquakes and tsunamis worldwide, the group flies to Yellowstone to retrieve Charlie's map, escaping as the Yellowstone Caldera erupts. Charlie stays behind to broadcast the eruption and is killed in the enormous eruption. Learning that the arks are in China, the group lands in a devastated Las Vegas
to find a larger plane. They run into Yuri, his twin sons Alec and Oleg
(played by Alexandre and Philippe Haussmann), girlfriend Tamara (Beatrice Rosen) and pilot Sasha (Johann Urb). The group secures an Antonov An-225 aircraft and they depart for China. Also heading for the arks aboard Air Force One are Anheuser, Helmsley and Laura Wilson. President Wilson remains in Washington, D.C. to address the nation one last time. With the Vice President dead and the Speaker of the House missing, Anheuser assumes de facto leadership. President Wilson is later killed by a megatsunami that sends the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy crashing into the White House.
Arriving in China in a crash landing that kills Sasha, the group is spotted by hellicopters from the People's Liberation Army.
Yuri and his sons, possessing tickets, are taken to the arks, leaving
Tamara and the others behind. They are picked up by Nima and are taken
to the arks with his grandparents (Lisa Lu and Chang Tseng). They stow away on the ark with the help of Tenzin. As a megatsunami approaches the site, an impact driver becomes lodged in the gears of the ark's hydraulics
doors, preventing a boarding gate from closing and keeping the ship
from starting its engines. In the ensuing chaos, Yuri, Gordon and Tamara
are killed, Tenzin is wounded, and the ark is set adrift. Jackson and
Noah dislodge the impact driver and the crew regains control of the ark
before it collides with Mount Everest.
After flood waters from the tsunamis recede, the arks travel to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa where the Drakensberg
Mountains have risen to become the tallest mountains in the world.
Jackson is rejoined with his family, and Helmsley starts a relationship
with Laura.

Storyline
Dr. Adrian Helmsley, part of a worldwide geophysical team investigating the effect on the earth of radiation from unprecedented solar storms, learns that the earth's core is heating up. He warns U.S. President Thomas Wilson that the crust of the earth is becoming unstable and that without proper preparations for saving a fraction of the world's population, the entire race is doomed. Meanwhile, writer Jackson Curtis stumbles on the same information. While the world's leaders race to build "arks" to escape the impending cataclysm, Curtis struggles to find a way to save his family. Meanwhile, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes of unprecedented strength wreak havoc around the world.
