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.
