An alien species called Mimics invades Earth, initiating a global war.
Major William Cage is deployed to the front lines in France to participate in the counterattack against the Mimics despite lacking combat experience.
During the battle at the Châtillon, France, Cage is killed by a Mimic but wakes up to find himself reliving the same day repeatedly, initiating a time loop.
While reliving the day, Cage meets Sergeant Rita Vrataski who helps him understand the nature of his time loop and train for combat.
Cage improves his combat skills through repeated time loops, strategizing with Rita to find a way to defeat the Mimics.
Cage and Rita discover the existence of the Omega, the central Mimic entity controlling the others and responsible for the time loop ability.
Initial plans to attack the Mimics fail, resulting in multiple deaths and setbacks despite Cage's foreknowledge.
Cage and Rita contact Dr. Carter at the IWC to devise a plan to destroy the Omega.
Cage and Rita infiltrate the Mimic hive in Paris aiming to kill the Omega and end the invasion.
Rita is killed during the final assault, but Cage kills the Omega, causing the invasion to end and resetting time to an earlier point where the invasion can be prevented.
Due to killing the Omega before the invasion, the Mimic threat is eliminated early and Cage wakes up in a world where the invasion has been stopped.
