## Plot

The film begins with the ARCAM excavation team investigating something deep within the Ararat mountains in Turkey. After further exploration, they uncovered of what appears to be Noah's Ark. By then, however, the Ark began to emit a strange energy from itself to the point where the excavation team were overwhelmed by the energy's strength, eventually causing a massive explosion that shook the landscapes and even destroyed the artificial satellite orbiting around the Earth in space.

Afterwards, an unknown narrator begins to recap the story of the ancient civilization's fate as the yellow plate gradually appears from the background. The narrator describes the plate with a warning message inscribed to it for future generations, mentioning that their created technologies have caused their demise through misusage, and they should not be summoned again. In response to this message, an organization, namely the ARCAM corporation, was formed. ARCAM contains its own private army that holds elite agents specializing in sealing away the legacy of the ancient civilization from various adversary forces. These operatives are called the "Spriggan".

The scene then changes to where Yu Ominae was seen hiding from the British soldiers in the forest who are searching around for additional intruders. Yu then moves to a spot where he activates his radio headset to contact his unit "Red Company". Unfortunately for him, no reply is given as it was shown that all of its members were killed in action. Yu notices this and realizes that he is alone in the operation. Eventually, the British soldiers converge on his position, and begin to aim their Enfield L85A1 rifle on his general location. One of the soldiers notices Yu's position through the night vision scope on his rifle in which Yu also starts to aim his Heckler & Koch G3A3 at the same soldier, but then realizes the soldier was already aiming at him a few seconds prior. As he thought his death is approaching fast, Yu then suddenly wakes up from his nightmare in a classroom setting.

The teacher appears to be annoyed from Yu's distracted behavior, then notifies the students that the class session has been concluded. One of the students approaches Yu, and reminds him of his frequent missed attendance in the first weeks of school, and that now he often sleeps during lectures. The other student then chimes in and mentions that Yu will fall behind due to his laziness. Yu then notices one of the other students strangely staring at him for a while, and asks his acquaintances about his strange behavior. They reveal the student's name as Tanaka, who disappeared at one point where his parents called the police in response for his missing whereabouts. He returns to school yesterday, though he often appears very stressed out.

Yu arrives at the school's rooftop where Tanaka was waiting for him. Yu questions him for the purpose of the meeting, but the latter is incredibly shaken to give the answer to the former. Eventually, Tanaka opens his gakuran coat and reveals explosive charges strapped underneath it, in addition to his white shirt displaying the message, "NOAH WILL BE YOUR GRAVE". Yu is shocked by this unexpected situation and tries to assist him, but suddenly finds that Tanaka holds a detonator, and is struggling to stop himself from activating it as he begs Yu to help him. Yu then attempts to rush towards him, but he is too late as Tanaka activates the explosives' detonator, causing a big explosion to the rooftop that kills him and injures Yu.

Some time later in the evening at the ARCAM building, Yamamoto was opening the door to his office and notices Yu printing out photos from the printer. The frustrated Yu slams the photos at the table, demanding Yamamoto to answer him the meaning of them. Yamamoto then recaps Yu about the disappearance of the ARCAM research team back that occurred six months ago back at the Mount Ararat, Turkey, where the team discovered Noah's Ark. Then, he informs him about another ARCAM research unit suffered an attack three weeks ago. The attack was led by the U.S. Machine Corps, a rogue division of the Pentagon who seeks for the Ark. Yu was baffled by the fact of how he wasn't informed about this incident, but Yamamoto argues saying that its a trap for luring Yu to them. Nevertheless, Yu is angered about how they managed to turn Tanaka into a suicide bomber, and tells Yamamoto he wants to take immediate action from this. Yamamoto advises against Yu's suggestion, stating that Noah's ruins is too dangerous for ARCAM to handle, and Yu's injured condition made him not suitable to partake in the exploration mission. Yu, however, refuses to abide to Yamamoto's advice and exits his office, determining he can take on the challenge himself.

Later, Yu took an airplane to the country of Turkey to meet up with Dr. Mayzel and Miss Margaret at the Mount Ararat ARCAM research facility. Along the way, however, two fighter jets suddenly appear and they ordered the airplane pilots for a route change from landing at Diyarbakir to instead land at Istanbul. As a result, they also have to contact the local ARCAM office to arrange for someone to provide an alternative transport for Yu. Eventually, Yu arrives to the Istanbul Atatürk Airport where a Turkish agent is waiting for him, although both were apprehended shortly afterwards by the Turkish soldiers, and are taken into an interrogation room where an interrogator is checking Yu's baggage, only to discover firearms and numerous ammunitions in it. He questions Yu if he is trying to start a war, before unanimously kicking them out from the office.

Yu is then seen at the passenger seat in a red vehicle with the escort supposedly driving him to the destination. The agent apologizes to Yu for an inconvenience back at the airport since they were supposed to be notified of Yu's arrival. A couple of seconds later, Yu notices a black vehicle tailing them at the highway and questions the man if they are notified as well. He tells him that he is correct, before pulling out a Beretta Model 70 pistol on him, confirming those in the vehicle behind them are his friends as well. While the man is distracted taunting Yu about the death of his friends, Yu uses this opportunity to disarm the man and punches him out of the vehicle. The chase then ensues with Yu being chased by those behind him in a vehicle who are opening fire on him with their firearms. Yu drives to the marketplace in an attempt to lose his pursuers. However, as he approaches to the entrance, he loses control on his vehicle, causing it to be overturned and forcing him to escape on-foot. Yu manages to outsmart his pursuers by neutralizing them with hit-and-run tactics, and taking advantage with his extraordinary acrobatic ability to lose them quickly. After dealing with the last pursuer, Yu uses the edge of the blade to throw it at the surveillance camera that is watching him from the distance.

At some point, a briefing session is held by the U.S. Machine Crops who is discussing about Yu's personal information, abilities, and his affiliation with ARCAM through a PowerPoint presentation. Major Fatman recognizes Yu from the screen and tells the members in the room that their usual methods won't work on him. One of the members recalls Yu's betrayal of Fatman's former unit. Fatman responds by crushing the smoking plate with his right, robotic hand. He then asks about Yu's current whereabouts, to which the presenter nervously responds that they lost track of him. Regardless, Fatman reassures them that Yu is eventually bound to show up soon and that ARCAM is just a private army, confidently saying that they will be buried within the Ararat mountain.

Afterwards, Yu is seen heading to the Ararat mountain through the use of a jeep and a transport ruck after somehow wrecking the jeep. Eventually, he arrives and climbs on the mountain where the ARCAM research facility is located at. Yu notices an ARCAM soldier coming out from the entrance door of the facility and attempts to introduce himself to him, but the soldier responds by firing his FN FAL rifle at him, mistakenly identifying him as an intruder. Multiple ARCAM soldiers would arrive to assist the shooter and provide suppressing fire at Yu, forcing him to take nearby cover. He is later detained and escorted by the soldiers, presumably to a prisoner cell. Along the way, however, Mayzel and Margaret have passed by, and Yu uses this opportunity to have both doctors recognize him as ARCAM's number one Spriggan, clearing him of his arrest.

While Yu is enjoying his coffee later on, Mayzel reminds him of Yamamoto being very worried about Yu, and how he is reckless by escaping from the hospital and commandeered one of ARCAM's international planes. Then, he issues him the latest armored muscle suit, a battle suit made out of Orichalcum metal fibers and artificial muscles, in addition to it being heat and pressure resistant. They also issue him a combat knife that is also made out of Orichalcum, and an armguard containing a climbing rope. By then, however, the U.S. Machine Corp soldiers had already begun to infiltrate the facility and just recently manage to cut the power source for the facility's electricity. The ARCAM emergency broadcaster announces about unidentified intruders at Site 2, requiring ARCAM Defense Force soldiers to intercept them immediately. Yu preps his A.M. suit and weapons to prepare for a battle ahead of him.

The ARCAM Defense Force soldiers were attempting to hold off the Machine Corps forces, but the presences of Fatman and Littleboy with their superior firepower and strengths caused them to suffer large casualty count. As Little Boy finally finishes off the three soldiers, Yu arrives to the battlefield and attempts to battle against him. Littleboy runs away from Yu and the latter gives a chase to him, but Fatman knocks him to the side, causing Littleboy to head to the facility with the Machine Corp soldiers without much trouble. Yu recognizes Fatman and is shocked to find him alive. As the two begin their duel with one another, Littleboy continues to infiltrate the facility while neutralizing any ARCAM Defense Force in his way. In the deepest part, he encounters a French Spriggan, Jean Jacquemonde leaning against a wall. He demands Jean about Dr. Mayzel's whereabouts, but Jean refuses to provide such info and begins to chase him outside the facility. In the meantime, Yu is struggling to hold his ground against Fatman as the latter slams him against the container. Jean and Littleboy then appear from a big explosion, and the former discovers Yu in a troubled state and shoots Little Boy's weapon as he attempts to evade him. Fatman then admits to Yu of how the Machine Corps managed to brainwash Tanaka, causing Yu to fly into a quiet rage as he suddenly cuts Fatman's left hand with his knife from his seemingly unconscious state. He then stabs Fatman in his stomach and dodges his incoming minigun fire as he arms the Browning M2HB machine gun turret from the jeep and incessantly fires waves of bullets against Fatman until his jeep crashes. Yu, with the M2 in his hands, charges against Fatman who appears to have fallen from suffering extreme amount of gunshot wounds, but Jean intercepts Yu by punching him in the face and aiming his SPAS-12 shotgun at his forehead, telling him that enough is enough. As Yu comes back to his senses, Jean announces to him that Fatman is already dead.

Back in the place where the Machine Corps formed a presentation on Yu Ominae, the reporter announces to Colonel MacDougal that Fatman and Littleboy have failed to capture Mayzel. MacDougal, however, expected this outcome to occur, and reassures the reporter that they still have the key to Noah's Ark from the triangular plate taken by Little Boy during the raid against the ARCAM research unit from three weeks ago. He then walks away from his chair, threatening to kill anyone who attempts to be disobedient and interferes with his plan. Suddenly, MacDougal suffers from what seems to be a severe headache, and one of his subordinates has to place a remote control-like life support system at the back of his head to reduce the severity of the pain.

During the aftermath of the battle at Ararat, Jean asks Yu about Fatman's identity, to which the latter responds with that he is his old commander. Jean then questions him about his purpose of coming to Ararat, before deducing that his act is out of revenge. He advises Yu to not let his past to cause him to lose his focus, and by acting impulsively, he is endangering to those who entrusted him of their lives, before leaving him alone for himself.

Meanwhile at The Pentagon in the U.S., the General is discussing with the executives in the meeting room about the magnetic field's presence from their probe satellite. Fearing that Mayzel's research is proceeding closer to the truth, one of them suggests to act immediately from this. The General denies that suggestion; instead, he express his confidence that MacDougal will take care of the situation since he was already indoctrinated with the objectives of the U.S.

Yu, along with Mayzel and Margaret, is in the elevator heading down to the facility's underground to examine Noah's Ark. When the three get on the transport truck, Margaret informs Yu that ARCAM's current technology prevents the Ark from receiving any physical damage. Upon arrival to the Ark's entrance, Mayzel explains how the door somehow uses a material that prevents time from flowing, thus it can never be opened, much less being broken. While Mayzel is theorizing about how the material could not possibly be made by humans, Jean is seen to be patrolling outside the facility in the cold night of Ararat when he notices a strange force field approaching from far ahead. Inside the force field reveals to be MacDougal slowly approaching the facility, in which Jean attempts to intercept him. Meanwhile, Yu with his ARCAM Defense Force soldiers is interrogating the captured Littleboy and the rest of the Machine Corps soldiers who are alive from the earlier conflict. Shortly afterwards, Littleboy laughs and announces that MacDougal is coming. His words comes true as MacDougal uses his Telekinesis powers to breach in the underground along with his Machine Corps troops. He orders ARCAM soldiers to put down their weapons and surrender. Yu comes in and attempts to face MacDougal directly, but the latter severely injures him when he attempts to pull out his combat knife. As the ARCAM soldiers gather together to assist Yu, Mayzel and Margaret steps in to stop them from throwing themselves in their own deaths. They lead MacDougal into a computer room where he translates the written message transcribed from the stone tablet. The message basically reads as anyone who awakens Noah's Ark would have the power to create the humanity anew if evil continues to spread around Earth. MacDougal continues with the process that if he can modify the ozone layer and carbon dioxide that surrounds Earth, he can control the ultra-violet radiation, essentially transforming the ark into an atmospheric control system. When Mayzel questions his intention of using the Ark, MacDougal responds by destroying all the computers in the room, also causing the loss of data that is part of the government property which angers one of MacDougal's subordinates. MacDougal then demands Mayzel and Margaret to escort him to the deepest part of Noah's Ark. His subordinate attempts to impede his progress of proceeding there for disobeying orders, but MacDougal refuses to comply ands ends up killing the man by falling to his death. He then have both scientists follow him to the Ark.

While the three are traveling to the entrance of the Ark, Yu is held against the wall by Littleboy arming with his Beretta M12, along with the Machine Corps special forces troops aiming their weapons at him. As all hope appears to be lost, Jean unexpectedly arrives in a large vehicle and takes out all of Littleboy's subordinates with his rifle. He then fires his rocket launcher at a wall close to Littleboy to create a large explosion that has him distracted to remove Yu as his hostage. By this time, Mayzel, Margaret, and MacDougal have already arrived to the entrance door of Noah's Ark. Mayzel notices this time that the door is resonating, and MacDougal uses the triangular plate to scan the door for the purpose of discovering a method to open it, but fails to do so and has Mayzel fills in his role instead. Back at the facility, Jean orders the ARCAM men to lower the walls and seal off the block before arming his IMI Galil rifle in his search for Littleboy. However, he arrives in a large truck and seemingly runs over Jean to escape from the facility, although unknown to him that Jean is still hanging on the truck's side. Meanwhile, after scanning the door with the plate for some time, Mayzel manages to have the door reveals the gap where the plate could be placed at to open it. He puts the plate on it, causing the door to finally be opened after numerous years. MacDougal then tells him and Margaret to continue along with him in an uncharted territory.

Meanwhile, Jean is still attempting to kill Littleboy who is still driving the truck during the night blizzard. At one point where Littleboy fires his M12 at Jean, the latter kicks him in the face while he is still pulling the trigger, losing his control of the firearm. The bullets eventually hit the vehicle's wheels, causing its materials to fly towards the engine, setting it on fire. Jean then falls off from the vehicle after losing his grip when Littleboy overturns the vehicle, sending both sliding down on the snowy cliff. Littleboy activates the switch that releases the hook from the back of the vehicle in hopes that it will attach to something to stop the vehicle from falling off. Eventually, it does eventually attaches to the light tower which causes the vehicle to prevent itself from falling further. Unfortunately for him, he is still trapped inside, and the flames behind him continues to grow , eventually expanding to the point where the vehicle explodes, instantly killing him. Jean is unable to prevent himself from sliding off from the cliff, but uses his shovel to hang on the anchor that is detached from the truck to save himself from falling to his death. Shortly afterwards, Yu, along with a couple of ARCAM men, arrives to the scene on a snowmobile to check on Jean. When one of the men answers Jean's question of MacDougal's location, he tells Yu to go after him instead of wasting his time helping Jean from his injuries. As he heads off, Jean stops him with his words to make sure he gets Mayzel and Margaret out from the Ark. Yu then orders the two men to help Jean before heading off to the Ark.

Yu arrives to the same door where Mayzel has previously unlocked, but is confused by the ARCAM men's presence and them being hesitant of entering the door to go after him and Margaret. They explain that the light doesn't go through the opened door that leads to a void. Both scientists and MacDougal were already walking through the void when they suddenly encounter of what appears to be the Ark's control panel. MacDougal interacts with the panel, causing the blackness surroundings to disappear and the control room being revealed. Mayzel then uses his fingers to inscribe what was written from the plate on the panel, causing the holder to appear where Mayzel places the plate on shortly. The table is then formed, in which Margaret interacts with it, revealing more surroundings of the control room. MacDougal is fascinated by this and believes that the Ark is truly the key to finally resolve environmental dangers. Meanwhile, Yu heads to the void alone after prepping the M2 Mortar, goggles, and the H&K G3A3. While attempting to find MacDougal, a dead dinosaur takes him by surprise. He activates his goggles to find numerous other dinosaurs and strange creatures in their frozen state within the Ark. As Yu continues to investigate this bizarre discovery, MacDougal rants about how the animals in the Ark could potentially be used as experiments to create the next generation of new animals and believes that it is also a machine for the generation of life, thus concluding that human history have all started here in the Ark. Strongly believing mankind is God's one and only creative failure, He desires the scientists to work with him in creating humanity anew, but Mayzel refuses his preposterous request, feeling that he is insane for coming up with that type of plan. MacDougal isn't amused by Mayzel's response, and has himself interact with the table that results in the activation of the Ark. Earthquakes begin occurring that forces those in the underground to evacuate the area. Yu also feels a strong force and notices video feeds surrounding him that shows what is happening on the outside. While MacDougal is bragging about him creating a second flood legend, he also feels a noticeable force, but notices that it is not from the Earthquake, but instead mortars being fired by Yu. Furious by Yu's persistence, MacDougal tries to move the screens around to make it harder for Yu to know his location. Yu eventually finds the feed where MacDougal and the scientists are located, and fires additional mortar rounds on it until it creates a hole.

By then, Mayzel has lost his patience and tries to stop MacDougal by pulling him away, but he reacts by using a power force that sends Mayzel nearly flying. Yu fires another mortar round directly at MacDougal, through the latter blocks it with his psychic power. Yu arrives to the control room, and Mayzel urges him that the Ark must be sealed off. MacDougal attempts to cut off the scientists' escape with his Telekinesis attacks, though Yu prevents it by firing another mortar round at it, damaging his equipment in the process as it explodes near him. Yu then attempts to duel against MacDougal, but his Telekinesis powers have proven to be a struggle for Yu to overcome. After him sustaining significant injuries, MacDougal expresses his bewilderment of Yu incessantly attempting to disturb the "House of God". Yu is baffled by MacDougal's delusion in believing himself as God by simply controlling the Ark and tries to convince him that he is being used, but MacDougal admits that the Pentagon and neither the Machine Corps concern him now as he simply desires world domination. Yu then further tries to stop him, although MacDougal eventually severely damages his A.M. suit with more usage of his power from Telekinesis. He also begins to display a painful behavior that is likely from the headache he is starting to endure as wires begin to come out from the back of his head. When he looks back, however, he finds a tattoo on Yu's right arm that reads, "COSMOS NO 43", and realizes that Yu was part of the black-ops program held by The Pentagon that raised children into becoming ruthless killers. Yu then starts receiving flashbacks of his early days during the COSMOS project where him and the other children were experimented on and trained to become elite soldiers. One day, the young Yu was part of the operation where his unit were killing guards and civilians in a clean and efficient matter, essentially leaving no witnesses alive. When two civilians were attempting to ran away from the scene, Yu, armed with his H&K MP5-SD3, shot at them. However, Yu began to feel distressed from his action with the way how his victims posed after their deaths. Yu eventually reached his breaking point that caused him to go on the murder spree against his COSMOS unit. At one point, he arrived to the command bunker with the M60 machine gun in his hand where his former commander, Fatman, is located at, and opened fire on everyone in the bunker. Yu then recalls his last memory, in which it also turns out to be his worst nightmare: him witnessing the deaths of his parents at a very young age back at the desert of Iran. MacDougal taunts Yu of him being just a killing machine and that he can't kill a god, before initiating of what assumed to be his ultimate attack that could kill Yu for good. Yu, determined to prove that he is not just a number, charges against MacDougal with the combat knife before stabbing him in the stomach, presumably putting an end to the crisis.

Yu grabs the triangular plate from the panel and then hears MacDougal uttering his disappointment of failing to achieve his ambition. Yu carries MacDougal, responding his question to his action by saying that he is not just a killer machine. Unfortunately, Yu was startled by MacDougal's sudden Telekinesis attack, and the latter places the plate on the panel to send the Ark into self-destruct mode where it will be sucked towards another dimension. Before being consumed by the rift, MacDougal warns Yu that there are many ruins like the Ark that exist around the world, and that their battle has truly just begun. Yu then attempts to escape from the Ark, but eventually passes out presumably due to his exhaustion from the decisive battle earlier. Thankfully, Jean picks him up and the two make their way out of the Ark, all while witnessing the creatures being alive again before shortly transforming back to their extinct state. Eventually, Jean steps on a specific platform that have both fall off from the Ark and back to the outside world again. Although nearly separated from one another, Yu still manages to grab ahold of Jean's hand and uses the climbing rope on his arm to hang on the ARCAM's osprey aircraft vehicle. By then, Noah's Ark has been completely wiped of its existence into an another dimension and the crisis has finally ended, although everyone was initially saddened by the fact that Yu and Jean may not make it out alive. However, both surprise everyone with their presence from the aircraft, leading to a celebration of their victory, before the camera slowly zooms out from the Ararat mountain and eventually to the point where an entire Earth is shown.
