The film presents a pre-tribulational dispensational Futurist interpretation of Christian Eschatology and the Rapture popular among U.S. The film's title is taken from 1 Thessalonians 5:2, in which Paul warns his readers that ' the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.' Patty realizes that the Rapture has actually occurred and she has been left behind. Horrified, Patty frantically searches for her husband only to find he is missing too. She is relieved, but her relief is short-lived when the radio announces that millions of people have in fact disappeared. Patty awakens and realizes it has all been a dream. She escapes, but after a chase she is cornered by UNITE on a bridge and falls from the bridge to her death. She desperately tries to avoid UNITE and the Mark but is eventually captured. Patty is conflicted: she refuses to trust Christ, yet she also refuses to take the Mark. The next morning, Patty awakens to find that her husband and millions of others have suddenly disappeared. Meanwhile, her husband has been attending another church and has accepted Jesus. She refuses to believe the warnings of her friends and family that she will go through the Great Tribulation if she does not put her faith in Christ.
