世界核战争后，政府给每个人注射一种麻痹情感神经的药物，使人们封闭感情，变成行尸走肉。 约翰·普雷斯顿（克里斯蒂安·贝尔 Christian Bale 饰）是政府军事部门高级官员。他摧毁一切艺术品、工艺品，并将一切抗令不抛弃自己感情的人杀死，同事艾洛·帕特杰（肖恩·宾 Sean Bean 饰）因藏有一本违禁书籍也未曾幸免。一次行动中，约翰遇到玛丽·欧布莱恩（艾米丽·沃森 Emily Watson 饰）。她使得约翰开始断绝药物，试图体会有感情的生活究竟是一种什么样的滋味。他被那些第一次出现在他生命里的奇妙动人景象所陶醉了，也深深的为每天履行的破坏艺术的行为感到愧疚和内疚。 他的反常行为，被一直窥探其位置的新同事布兰特（泰雅·迪格斯 Taye Diggs 饰）看在眼里，于是想尽办法，试探约翰的虚实。在工作与道义之间，在危险与安逸之间，在情感与沦丧之间，约翰又会做出怎样的抉择呢？

The film reveals the mechanisms behind the weakening of democratic principles in the United States through evangelical fundamentalism. Religious groups and popular TV pastors proclaim the coming of the end of the world just as the Bible says. They see its origins in the coronavirus crisis, the unrest in the Middle East, and the potential development of LGBTQIA+ rights. Exploring the influence of religious fundamentalism on leading politicians and their foreign policy raises an uncomfortable question: what happens when the prophets of the end of the world whisper in the ears of the politicians who have the power to bring it about?  　　“Praying for Armageddon is a compelling, sobering Revelation all its own, revealing the hitherto unimagined scale of a type of political insanity that would entrust the future to people who don’t want there to be a future at all.” — Jessica Kiang
