Movie Spoiler Warning!! [Can Ruin A Movie Ending]

The town of Swallow Falls, located on a tiny island hidden under the “A” in "Atlantic" on the world map (corresponding to the real-life location of Bermuda), suffers an economic downturn after the demand for sardines plummeted ("everyone in the world realized that sardines are super gross"). Now stuck with their supply, sardines became the sole food in Swallow Falls. Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) is a scientist whose inventions, beginning as a child (Max Neuwirth) have all ended in disaster (e.g. Spray On shoes that had no way of taking off) Flint's latest invention, Flint Lockwood's Diatomic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator (or the FLDSMDFR), is a device which mutates water molecules into food; he hopes that it will end the town's sardine dependency. His home does not have enough power to make it work, so he is forced by his unsupportive and technophobic father, Tim (James Caan), to work at his Bait and Tackle shop. Flint immediately sneaks out while his father is at the unveiling of Sardine Land, a new tourist attraction created by Mayor Shelbourne (Bruce Campbell) and "Baby" Brent (Andy Samberg), the famous mascot. Flint, along with his pet monkey, Steve (Neil Patrick Harris), hooks up the FLDSMDFR to the town's power station. However, the machine absorbs so much power that it takes off like a rocket, destroys Sardine Land, and flies up into the stratosphere. Flint hides under a ladder in the docks, he hears footsteps and meets Sam Sparks (Anna Faris), an intern whose chance in reporting the weather was ruined by Flint's accident. The two witness giant purple clouds raining cheeseburgers over Swallow Falls, Sam reports the events and mentions Flint is responsible. Flint becomes famous, with new foods raining down every day. The greedy and gluttonous Mayor Shelbourne convinces Flint to rain food three meals a day every day for a month which will turn Swallow Falls into a new tourist attraction called "Chewandswallow".

During the last week before the grand reopening, the town cop, Earl (Mr. T), request an ice cream snow day for his son, Cal's (Bobb'e J. Thompson) birthday. By this time the FLDSMDFR has begun to enter the yellow danger zone. Flint and Sam grow closer the day before the grand reopening in a giant jell-o mold. That night, Flint invites his father to dinner as a VIP at a roofless restaurant in order to impress him with his new success. Tim instead questions the wisdom of an endless supply of food when big steaks fall into the restaurant, which angers Flint. After storming off, Flint notices giant hot dogs falling from the sky, and heads to his lab to investigate. He deduces that the machine is overworking and tries to shut it off. The Mayor, now morbidly obese and having to move with a scooter, shows up, and convinces Flint that keeping the machine running is the only way to get people to like him despite being told by Flint on his recent discovery of the overworking machine. At the Mayor's request, Flint orders spaghetti and meatballs.

The next day, while tourists from around the world are arriving, Sam, who discovered that a food storm will hit Chewandswallow, tries to warn Flint about the storm that is approaching, but he does not listen to her. After Flint cuts the ribbon, a spaghetti tornado destroys half the town. Not believing her, Sam rejects him while Flint returns to his lab to turn off the machine, but finds the Mayor placing a huge order. Flint tries to send a kill code to the FLDSMDFR, but the Mayor attempts to hit Flint with a over-sized radish. Instead, he destroys the communication device for the FLDSMDFR. Dismayed, Flint asks the Mayor what he ordered, and the Mayor, also dismayed, says "A Vegas style all you can eat buffet." Earl's son, Cal passes out due to excessive consumption of junk food, and Sam's cameraman Manny (Benjamin Bratt) cures him, since he is a former doctor in Guatemala. Sam patches through to the network to warn the world of the impending food storm. Flint decides that he really is a failure, but his father helps restore his confidence. Flint redesigns a previously failed Flying Car and uploads the kill code into a flash drive and heads to the sky, along with Steve, Sam, Brent, and Manny (who is also a pilot), flies up into the stratosphere to destroy the FLDSMDFR, while the citizens and remaining tourists build sandwich boats to escape into the ocean, but the Mayor takes his own boat and gets a head start, leaving the citizens to die. He then starts eating his own boat.

Nearing the location of the FLDSMDFR, Flint and the others find that it is inside in a giant "meatball" composed various foods. They are attacked by mutant foods genetically altered to protect the FLDSMDFR. After they escape a mutant pizza, the flash drive containing the kill code flies out the window. Flint, Sam, and Brent enter the meatball and make their way towards the FLDSMDFR. Flint calls his father and asks him to send the kill code from his lab computer to his cell phone. As Tim struggles to send Flint the kill code, the dam holding back Mt. Leftovers gives way and food covers the town, presumably crushing Tim. However, he manages to survive the "foodalanche" and sends an email. The food storm begins to cover the world, destroying famous landmarks with giant food. Flint is left to go on alone after Brent, who possesses the body of a man-sized sentient chicken, holds off chickens. Due to a Peanut allergy, Sam, attempting to save Flint, has swollen lips after stepping on a shard of peanut brittle, But Sam and Flint reveal their true feelings for each other first.

At the center of the meatball, Flint discovers the rogue FLDSMDFR, and sees that it has redesigned itself to expel huge amounts of giant food with one blow. He plugs in his phone and finds that his father has erroneously sent a popular Internet video of kittens singing "Fight the Power." The machine starts trying to shoot food at Flint. As the machine prepares to expel a final blast of giant food, Flint uses his Spray-On Shoes formula to block the spout, causing the FLDSMDFR and the meatball to explode. The giant food clouds around the world disappear, and Sam, Brent, Steve, and Manny manage to land safely. They at first assume Flint was killed in the explosion, but are relieved to find he has been saved by a flock of Rat-birds (failed experiments that bred at a surprising rate). Tim is finally able to express his love and admiration for his son by using Steve's monkey-thought translator, and Sam and Flint kiss as the film ends. The Mayor is lost in the sea, holding a pretzel which he starts to eat.

In the end credits, the town is named Chew and Swallow 2 during a different animation. The famous landmarks were rebuilt, except for London; it remains as gloomy looking as it was before. Flint and Tim are shown opening a business using Spray-On Shoes as roof sealant. The Mayor is retrieved, deflated to normal size, and arrested by Earl and Cal.
