), two female flight attendants, are on their way to LAX for a flight to Nashville. At the gate, they meet George (Mattie Liptak), an unaccompanied minor who frequently flies between his divorced parents. Aboard the plane, we meet the rest of the crew and passengers; Captain Forrest (John Curran
) and Co-pilot Wilson (Andrew Benator
), an elderly couple Bev (Lynn Cole) and Sylvester (Judd Lormand
) (Sylvester is mute and paralyzed), Louise (Sandra Ellis Lafferty) (an elderly woman with her cat), Henry (Josh Cooke
) (a man who's brought a cage of hamsters on the plane), Nial (Phillip DeVona) and Susan (Julie Gribble) (a couple with a baby on the way), Shilah (Noree Victoria) (an Army Medic), Hvorst (Tyler Kunkle) and Nicca (Erin Smith) (a German tourists couple), Preston (Lamar Stewart) (a businessman), and finally, Ralph (George Back
) (a heavyset golf player).
As they board the plane, Ralph is accidentally bitten by one of Henry's hamsters. As the flight progresses, Ralph's health deteriorates quickly and demands that the plane lands instantly. His mouth begins to foam and he vomits (which Louise's cat eats, before running in a rage for the cockpit. Preston, Henry, George and Paula manage to knock Ralph out and restrain him with plastic cuffs while Wilson locks the cockpit door as terrorism protocol.
The plane is directed to land at the nearest airport, but communication with the tower is cut off as they land. As the attendants try to secure him in a seat, Ralph reawakens and bites Paula's face, severely injuring her. Frustrated with the lack of communication from the tower, Captain Forrest taxis the plane to an unused gate, as the other passengers attempt to trap Ralph in the bathroom. Ed (Ignacio Serricchio
), a baggage handler at the terminal, opens a gate so they can disembark. As they attempt to gain access to the airport, they discover that all the doors into the terminal are locked. Forrest and Wilson hold the plane's bathroom door shut while everyone else (except for Bev and Sylvester) escapes through an employee entrance into the staging room in the terminal. As they make their way through the staging room, they realize they have been quarantined.
Because of Paula's worsening condition, Preston, Henry, Jenny, Ed, and Nial go back to the plane to get Shilah's medical kit from the hold. Wilson, Forrest, Bev and Ralph are all gone and the bathroom is filled with blood, but Sylvester is still in his seat.
Ed manages to find a trapdoor from the cabin area of the plane into the hold. Jenny and Henry search for Shilah's medical kit while Nial grabs a gun from his suitcase, and Preston stays with Sylvester above and looks for his laptop. Nial is bitten by one of Henry's hamsters which have all escaped from their cage, and says that it looked like a rat. Jenny finds Shilah's bag, but as she climbs back out of the hold, she sees Preston's laptop spattered with blood, but no sign of Preston or Sylvester. She sees Wilson covered in blood scuttling around the far end of the plane like an animal. She then turns to find Forrest, mouth foaming, eyes red. He attacks her, forcing Nial to shoot him in the back.
The group moves down the exit walkway, where they find that Preston has tried to get Sylvester away from the plane in a wheelchair; both are on the ground, Sylvester otherwise unharmed, but Preston unconscious and bitten. Nial, Henry and Ed help Sylvester through the employee door towards the others; before Jenny follows them, she hears the cries of Bev - who has in fact been bitten. As Jenny goes to help her, Bev quickly succumbs and chases Jenny back to the employee door where she manages to get to the others. They all barricade the door and lock Bev in the walkway. When they meet up with the rest of the group, they begin to realize that the infection is probably being spread by bites and that the symptoms appear to be those of a super-rabies. Sylvester tries to alert the group of a rat lurking above him, but they fail to hear him in time and the rat bites him. The group decide to lock him and Paula up in the fear that they're infected.
George accuses Henry of being responsible for the infection by bringing rats onto the plane, as the animals he saw in the cage had long tails which hamsters don't. Henry denies this, saying that the hamsters are an unusual breed from South America. Jenny takes Henry away from the group to talk to him, and he convinces her that he would never have been able to get rats through airport security. They are attacked by Ralph; Jenny's screams attract the attention of the group, and together they strangle him with a rubber hose.
A team of four CBDT officers arrive and enter the building heavily armed. They direct the group to take Sylvester and Paula (who is now unconscious) out their makeshift cells and administer 'protocol' to them, a pressurized injection to the neck. They demand the others step forward to receive it as well. They are all hesitant, as the CBDT officers refuse to explain what's going on, but Louise finally volunteers to go first. While attempting to administer it to her, her cat bites her neck and then runs off into the terminal. While the team attempt to shoot the cat, Sylvester suddenly jumps up and bites one of the officials. After killing the officer, the three officials attempt to flee, but find they are locked in. They shoot out the locks and run. Two of the officers, along with Hvorst who attempts to flee with them, are all shot to death by the surrounding personnel.
Ed drags the surviving officer inside, and the group flees the infected, now including Louise, Sylvester, and Nial from the hamster bite. As they all load into a large catering truck, Nial grabs Susan as she is about to get in and bites her. The group interrogates the CBDT officer who tells them about a quarantined building in LA (which has been found to house a doomsday cult's bio-terrorism lab). He confirms Shilah's speculation: the injections given to Sylvester, Paula and Louise were different colors than any army protocol. The plan had been to use the survivors to test antidotes. Indicating that there is no hope of survival, the officer graps Nial's gun from Henry and shoots himself.
Wilson attempts to attack the group, grabbing Ed from a opening in the top of the trailer. Ed directs George to press a button which lifts the truck, crushing Wilson between the trailer and a beam above it. They exit the truck and flee, but Henry turns back, alone, without telling anyone where he's going. Ed leads the remainder of the group to an office to try to find details of an old drainage tunnel through which they can escape the airport. Henry has been separated from the group. While fleeing, Nicca is attacked and bitten, and moments later Paula attacks the rest of them. Jenny defends the group against her friend by pushing Paula off the catwalk, and she dies.
The remaining survivors are now only Jenny, George, Ed, Shilah, and Henry who is elsewhere. They reach the engineer's office and start looking for the blueprints detailing where the tunnel is. George snoops into Henry's briefcase (which he has stolen at some point earlier), discovering alarming documents relating to viruses and a case containing a vial and a syringe. Nial and Susan arrive and attack, but Henry turns up and saves the group by shooting the two to death with Nial's gun. It's discovered he was bitten, but George accuses Henry of all of it and pulls out the vial. Henry admits to having been part of the terrorist cell at the apartment building, who have planned a worldwide plague. He threatens to kill Jenny if George doesn't hand over the antidote. Ed tries to take the gun, but Henry shoots and kills him. The others are immediately scared into compliance.
While administering the antidote, Henry admits that he has 'friends to the cause' that helped him get the rats and antidote through security, and let him know that he should skip town as his 'lab' in LA had been compromised. After administering the antidote to himself (by an injection into his brain through his eye socket), he leaves, taking George as a hostage.
Shilah and Jenny chase behind, but they lose them. They get separated, and Jenny is attacked by Preston; After a close chase along the baggage conveyer belts, she kills him by bashing his head with a piece of machinery. She continues her search for George, but has to hide when she encounters an infected Nicca.
Shilah meets up with Jenny, wearing one of the CBDT's thermal/nightvision camera goggles, which make it easier to see the infected in the dark. She gives them to Jenny, who notices that Shilah has in fact been bitten herself - to which she replies with "Just not my day to fly".
Shilah urges Jenny to keep going and sacrifices herself to buy Jenny some time. As Jenny pushes on, she gets a surprise attack from Louise, but Jenny prevails.
Jenny finds George abandoned and crying near the drainage tunnel. George (unable to see anything in the dark) tells Jenny that Henry's antidote has failed and that he is now infected. He begs her to stay up out of the tunnel, but she comes down anyway, and is attacked by Henry. She drops the goggles, and George puts them on and finds the gun laying on the ground. He grabs it and shoots Henry. He then hands the goggles back to Jenny, who sees that Henry is incapacitated on the ground but still alive. She proceeds to use a metal bar to repeatedly strike Henry's head, killing him.
Jenny and George - now the last survivors - escape through an air vent as the terminal is being burnt down. Jenny is revealed to be infected and she begs George to leave her. George refuses to go without her, and Jenny reluctantly agrees to follow. At the end of the tunnel are metal bars that George is barely able to squeeze between. He turns back and calls for Jenny, who is now fully infected and attempts to grab him. However, she is too big to fit through the bars and she retreats into the tunnel. George drops the goggles and is seen walking away from the airport fence.
After George leaves, we see that Louise's infected cat has also escaped, and the city of Las Vegas
is shown in the distance; depicting a possible sequel.
