♠plot review ♠ In the near future, Continental Europe has been invaded by aliens known as Mimics who arrived in a meteor strike and have been battling with earth's military forces for nearly six years during which time many European nations have been conquered and millions have perished. To combat the threat, humanity's United Defense Force (UDF) outfits its soldiers with advanced, battery-powered battle suits. At UDF HQ in London, General Brigham (head of the UDF) orders Major William Cage, a public affairs officer and former advertising executive, to cover combat on the beaches of Northern France during the next day's assault on the Mimics. Cage objects to the dangerous assignment and threatens to use his public relations skills to turn the public against Brigham when the casualties start increasing from the invasion. General Brigham has Cage arrested; Cage is knocked out during an ensuing escape attempt. He wakes in handcuffs at a forward operating base at Heathrow Airport where military forces are preparing to cross the English Channel and liberate Europe. He discovers that he has been labeled a deserter, stripped of his rank, and put on combat duty for the invasion under the control of Master Sergeant Farell.
The invasion is a disaster for the humans. Cage manages to kill a large Mimic, but dies as he is sprayed with its acid-like blood. He then wakes up back at Heathrow the previous morning. No one believes his story that he knows the invasion will fail. He repeats the loop of dying on the beach and waking at Heathrow until he encounters Sergeant Rita Vrataski during the invasion. She recognizes his ability to anticipate events and tells him to locate her the next time he "wakes up".
Cage finds Vrataski and together they meet up with Dr. Carter, a former government scientist and expert in Mimic biology. Cage learns that the type of Mimic he killed in his first loop, an "Alpha", triggers a temporal reset when it is killed, allowing the Mimics to replay the battle and adapt. Cage acquired this ability when he was doused in the Alpha's blood as they both died. Vrataski was similarly endowed prior to the battle that made her famous, but lost the ability after receiving a blood transfusion. She tells Cage that they must hunt the Omega, the Mimics' hive mind and the organism that actually resets the day.
Over innumerable succeeding time loops, Vrataski molds Cage into a far more effective soldier. Eventually after repeated failures begin to take their toll, he leaves Heathrow and retreats to a pub on one loop where he witnesses the Mimics' next plan. Following the catastrophic defeat of Earth's forces in France, the Mimics will overrun the United Kingdom's defense forces and launch an amphibious assault upon London. He and Vrataski spend several loops learning how to survive the battle on the beach and get inland based on his vision of the Omega hiding within a Bavarian Alps dam. During this, Cage develops an attraction to Vrataski, and, tired of seeing her dying, he decides to hunt the Omega alone. When Cage arrives at the dam, he discovers that the Omega is not there and is ambushed by waiting Mimics. He manages to kill himself before an Alpha can steal his blood and prevent him from resetting the day. Back at Heathrow, he tells Vrataski and Carter that his vision was a trick.
Cage and Vrataski adopt a new approach: they infiltrate the Ministry of Defence in search of a prototype built by Carter that will allow Cage to discover the Omega's true location. After several failed loops they obtain the device, which reveals that the Omega is located in Paris. They are injured as they flee and Cage is saved by a blood transfusion, but he loses the ability to reset the day.
Vrataski frees Cage from the hospital where he is being held and they return to Heathrow, where they convince his squad to help destroy the Omega. After arriving in a devastated Paris, the other squad members sacrifice themselves to get Cage and Vrataski beneath the Louvre
