Plot
Chris Pratt decides to take a break from acting after being in his last movie and decides to throw a house warming party and invites many people. Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson is at Walmart buying some snacks and a cake for the party. There, beams of blue light come down and suck numerous people into the sky. Johnson is horrified and rushes back to his car to get to Chris' house to tell everyone what he just saw.

Dwayne arrives at Chris's house and recounts everything he saw, in great detail. Chris and the other partygoes refuse to believe him until an earthquake strikes and the partygoers rush outside. A large hole opens in Pratt's yard, swallowing Bobby Monynihan (impaled by a lamppost), Selena Gomez, Will Forte, Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ginnifer Goodwin, Stephen Kramer Glickham, Paul Rudd, Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer, Jenny Slate and Ben Stiller. Pratt, Johnson, Owen Wilson, Bill Hader and Zach Braff survive and run back inside the house. Pratt's assistant Judith gets accidentally crushed by Patton Oswalt. Rachel Crow gets her arm cut off by a lamppost and falls into the sinkhole. Mila Kunis tries to get Crow's arm off, but she also falls into the sinkhole. Justin Long escapes the sinkhole and rescues Eisenberg (who had been pushed in the sinkhole by Hader) and they rush inside Pratt's house.

The surviving seven try to find out what's happening via internet and cellphones, but neither work. They turn on the TV and catch the tail-end of a newscast stating that a massive 9.7 earthquake has struck Los Angeles; the signal cuts out. The six decide to hole-up at Chris' house and wait for rescue. They ration-out Chris' supplies, which includes food, copious amounts of booze and drugs, a few bottles of water, a guitar Chris used in Episode 622 "Moving Up" from Parks & Recreation, a custom made Star Lord blaster gun from "Guardians of the Galaxy" and a King-Size Kit Kat bar. They argue over who gets what, but ultimately decide to evenly divide the stash 5-ways. They go to bed.

The following morning, Wanda Sykes, who had passed out in Chris' dining room after drinking so much Wine during the party, awakens and heads downstairs to prepare breakfast. She is unaware of the earthquake and wastes almost all of the rationed food and water and gets an ear-full when the seven guys wake up. They try to tell her what happened last night but Wanda is skeptical about the events of the previous night and refuses to believe them. At that moment, a stranger (Josh Dallas) pops his head through Chris' barricaded doggy door and asks if he can hide inside. The group of seven argues over whether to let him in and Wanda is about to go let him in when his head is suddenly severed from his body, from an unseen force outside, and lands disgustingly in the middle of the group. The guys, horrified, engage in a game of soccer with his head and ultimately cover it with a sheet. Wanda now believes them and apologizes for wasting all their food.

In the following days, Justin Long theorizes that the disasters must be related to the apocalypse, as is illustrated in the book of Revelations. Those shafts of blue light lifting people into the sky would be the rapture, and those left behind are the sinners meant to die horrible deaths and go to hell.

Later, Salma Hayek, another survivor of the party, returns. However, due to a misunderstanding, she believes that the gang is planning to rape her and leaves, taking the group's remaining drinks with her. Dwayne is chosen to travel outside to the basement for soda, but finds the door is locked and returns after an encounter with an unknown being. The experience causes Chris to believe Long's theory that the Apocalypse has arrived. Owen & Zach reach the basement by digging through the floor and find the soda. But Bill wastes much of it out of thirst, causing Jesse to punch him, giving him a nasty nosebleed.

Later that night, Bill prays for Eisenberg to die, but is possessed by a demon shortly after. The following morning, a distraught Bill tells no one, conceals his scars, and pretends that it never happened. The remaining five are running low on food. They draw matches again to see who will go outside. This time Wanda draws the burnt match and decides to go outside her self. Justin and Dwayne offer to go with her. Justin, Wanda and Dwayne hurry through the neighborhood, passing a destroyed playground and come to an abandoned house. They break in, head to the kitchen, and fill their bags with snack foods.

Back at Chris' house, a visibly ill Bill passes out in Chris' living room. Chris, Jesse, Owen and Zach assume that Chris's low-blood sugar has caused him to pass out, so they try feeding him the King-Size Kit Kat bar. They then notice a speck of black liquid near his nose and investigate—it's vomit. Seconds later, Bill projectile-vomits all over the pair of them and speaks Latin in a deep, demonic voice. Bill is fully possessed and attacks the pair, starting with trying to kill Jesse for punching him in the nose last night.

Justin, Dwayne and Wanda are about the leave the neighbor's house when they hear a roar coming from the outside. A massive devilish hellbeast crashes through the house and chases them through the house's many hallways. Justin, who is about to be eaten, is saved at the last second by Dwayne. Wanda Sykes, who is still in the house, sets up a bunch of lights to surround the beast and when she turns them all on, the beast explodes. She reunites with the two and explains that she killed the beast by turning on the lights and it explodes, just like in the 2002 Scooby Doo movie. Once inside, Justin, Dwayne and Wanda help Chris, Owen, Zach and Jesse, by holding down Bill and tying him up. Bill then tries to kill Justin instead but is knocked out when Justin hits him with an electric Guitar. He wakes up and prepares to attack him again but Justin knocks him out hard with Chris' guitar from episode 622 "Moving Up" of Parks & Recreation.

They bind Bill's possessed body to Chris' bed. The gang now realized that the Apocalypse has indeed happened, which means God does exist and is responsible for everything that happened. Dwayne stated that God never make any mistakes and they actually have reasons why God yet to rapture them. Dwayne pointed out this by stating he was once gouged a woman's eyeballs out during a fight and he gouged them with two pieces of glass, which made him become 'The Rock' and Wilson also stated that he was once had sex with Kathy Griffin but had second thoughts. Wanda sums up that they are here due to having bad deeds that prevent them from being raptured. Just then, the power finally goes out for good, with Justin breaking the fourth wall by stating the soundtrack sounds as if they all going to be insane and Zach comments on Hader still having a demon inside him. Wands feels pity on Bill during their situation now and wishes there was something they could do to help him. Justin knows what they can do: an exorcism.

During an attempt, Justin's showmanship doesn't work on Bill and he beings to struggle, During his sturggling, a lit candle rolls across the floor and immediately lights the bed, and Bill, on fire. The demonic, flaming Hader, runs through the house chasing after the main seven angrily, lighting everything on fire before collapsing in a dead pile in the living room.

The seven escape outside, to Chris' car, but find a massive winged hellbeast perched atop Chris' garage. Dwayne, in a moment of selflessness, tells the others to run to the car while he distracts the hellbeast. Dwayne takes off his clothes (with his wrestling clothes underneath them), tackles the hellbeast, draws it away from the other six who, thanks to his distraction, climb into the car but the beast soon overpowers him and scratches his muscles with his claws. Wanda goes out and helps him defeat the beast and a shaft of blue light appears over the two; Dwayne's selflessness and intention to save the others has earned him a ticket to heaven and he's lifted into the sky and Wanda for helping him fight the monster. The shafts of blue light hit the hellbeast and causes it to explode.

The remaining five, Chris, Justin, Jesse, Owen and Zach, drive to Las Vegas. While driving, they theorize that as long as they do something good for somebody else, they can get sucked up into Heaven. Bolstered by this new-found knowledge, the trio brainstorms of ways to do good and be saved. The Prius is suddenly t-boned by a armored, Road Warrior-esque bus. They are then captured by cannibals led by Xzibit, who became a cannibal after the apocalypse began and now leads this small group of blood-thirsty cannibals with whom he regularly has his way, including his gimp Jon Hamm. The main five, left with no escape, is ready to accept their fate until Owen and Zach offer to sacrifice themselves for Chris, Justin and Jesse. Owen wrestles a bat away from one of the cannibals and beats them with it, while Zach break necks a few of the cannibals, allowing the other three to escape. As they run, they look back and watch as Wilson and Braff are bathed in shafts of blue light and they both get lifted into the sky.

Xzibit sends a few of his Cannibals after Chris, Justin and Jesse but are soon met with a towering, skyscraper-sized devil beast which smashes its way across the city. The beast spots the main 3 and walks toward them, ready to eat them. Justin then attacks one of the tentacles himself but is overpowered and knocked out. Jesse, having enough of being a coward decides to help him after saving his life. Jesse uses a chainsaw to slice off the beast's tentacles and he succeds. Justin wakes up and together, he and Jesse cut off the beast's teneacles and two blue shaft of lights appear over Justin and Jesse and begin lifting them to heaven. Chris, realizing that there's no shaft for him, tries to grab their hands but a force field prevents him. Chris, realizing this, bids adieu to his two friends and calls for Satan to eat him. Satan prepares to eat him when a third shaft of light appears, capturing Chris and drawing him up to heaven. Jesse and Justin take each of Chris' hands and are lifted up into heaven, causing their three beams to combine together, grow big and kill Satan.

Justin, Chris and Jesse appear in a heavenly setting, on an endless cloud and a white castle in the distance beyond the pearly gates. They're both dressed in white. They approach the gate and are met by Dwayne and Wanda who, having arrived first, appear in white with a golden halo hanging over their heads. Wanda tells them that she and Dwayne are now a married angel couple and explains that heaven is the best: anything you want, you can just ask for it, and it's yours. Chris wishes for a trampoline and starts jumping. Jesse wishes for a Beer. Heaven is full of beautiful, trendy people all dressed in white. As they walk through the crowd, they spot Owen and Zach who wish them all cocktails. Justin then wishes Smash Mouth who appear in the middle of the crowd and perform All Star while the main seven sing along.
