Plot Summary: Squeaky-clean Buffalo television newscaster Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) is headed for Washington D.C. after being elected a United States congressman. Together with his wife (Lauren Graham) and kids, he sets out for suburban northern Virginia to start his new life. Best laid plans sometimes have a way of not quite working out and as it turns out, it isn’t long before Evan’s happiness is rudely interrupted by the mysterious appearance of God (Morgan Freeman). Apparently, another massive flood is coming and God has chosen Evan to follow in Noah’s footsteps and build an ark enormous enough to house him, his family, and two of every species on earth. As outrageous as the situation may seem, Evan has good reason to believe that God is not leading him astray and so he begins the monumental construction. While he seems to have found new, spiritual enlightenment, his family and his neighbors start to think that he has actually gone insane. It may simply be a wild, mid-life crisis or perhaps, Evan is acting to serve humanity.
