Plot: Jake Gyllenhaal wakes with a jolt to find himself on a commuter train heading into Chicago. Although the other passengers all seem to know him, he has absolutely no idea where or even who he is. The last thing Gyllenhaal remembers is flying a helicopter mission in Iraq, but here he is in someone else’s life going through someone else’s morning commute. Before he can do anything an express train zooms by on the opposite track and a bomb explodes, seemingly killing Gyllenhaal and all the other passengers.

He comes to in an isolation chamber, strapped to a seat and wearing his military flight suit. He still has no idea what’s happening, except that he’s being spoken to by mission controller Carol Goodwin (Vera Farmiga), who calmly recites a series of memory questions to which Gyllenhaal is shocked to realize he knows the answers. He learns he’s part of an operation called Beleaguered Castle. Gyllenhaal figures he’s in some kind of simulation exercise, with his task being to find the bomber onboard the train before it goes off again. Living the explosion over and over,he must uncover the identity of the bomber, while also figuring out what the alternative universe of Beleaguered Castle is. Adding to the puzzle, Gyllenhaal uses the second chance opportunities to make peace with his father, and to find romance with a fellow passenger on the train.
