Ben (
Ben Affleck) has two days to get from New York to Savannah, Georgia for his wedding to
Bridget Cahill (
Maura Tierney). Everything is running smoothly until his plane skids off the runway.
Ben inadvertently saves the life of his seatmate,
Sarah (
Sandra Bullock), who becomes his companion for the longest two days of his life. As fate begins to repeat itself through a series of disasters involving a rental car, a train, and a bus (not to mention a hurricane),
Ben has to wonder if someone's trying to give him a message. Inevitably, he also finds himself falling in love with
Sarah. Meanwhile,
Bridget wonders where, exactly,
Ben is, and her old boyfriend
Steve (
David Strickland) attempts to take advantage of the situation. Not that
Bridget's dad (
Ronny Cox) really minds, since
Steve is much more successful than
Ben. En route,
Ben and
Sarah collide with
Ben's best man,
Alan (
Steve Zahn) and his girlfriend, the maid of honor (
Meredith Scott Lynn), which further adds to the series of cosmic tests that
Ben must try to answer.
