Jay Baruchel arrives in Los Angeles to visit with old friend and fellow actor Seth Rogen, who invites Baruchel to attend a housewarming party hosted by James Franco.
At the raucous party, many celebrities and others drink, take drugs,
have sex, and commit other immoral acts. Baruchel is uncomfortable being
around many people he does not know well—including Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Michael Cera, Craig Robinson, and Emma Watson—and Rogen accompanies him to a convenience store for cigarettes. The next morning, Danny McBride—who,
unknown to the others, crashed the party and fell asleep—wakes up
first. Ignorant of the crisis he wastes much of the supplies, and
disbelieves the others' accounts until a desperate outsider seeking aid
is decapitated in their presence. The men pass the time by taking many
drugs and filming a homemade sequel to the 2008 film Pineapple Express,
which most of the group had appeared in. Tensions rise, however, due to
various conflicts, including Baruchel and Rogen's growing estrangement,
and the others' skepticism of Baruchel's belief that the disasters
might be the Apocalypse the Book of Revelation predicts.Regretful for the mistakes in his life that kept him from Heaven,
Robinson volunteers to sacrifice himself so his friends can escape a
large winged demon. The plan succeeds but, unexpectedly, Robinson is
taken in the Rapture because of his good deed, giving hope to the group.
When cannibals led by McBride capture the men, Franco similarly
volunteers to sacrifice himself. Although the plan succeeds and a blue
beam begins to take Franco, his taunting sneers to McBride cause the
beam to vanish, and the cannibals eat Franco. As Satan prepares to
consume Rogen and Baruchel, they reaffirm their friendship and await
death. A blue beam suddenly strikes Baruchel, but Rogen's presence
prevents him from reaching Heaven. Rogen sacrifices himself to save his
friend, and just before death is also taken by the Rapture.
