Plot: Army helicopter pilot Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal), last aware of being on a mission in Afghanistan, wakes up on a commuter train (Metra) traveling to Chicago. He finds that to the world around him – including to his traveling partner Christina Warren (Michelle Monaghan) and the bathroom mirror – he appears as Sean Fentress, a school teacher. As he comes to grips with this revelation, the train car explodes, killing everyone aboard and derailing it and a tanker train traveling in the other direction. Stevens regains consciousness inside an unfamiliar cockpit. Through a screen, Air Force Captain Colleen Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) verifies Stevens' identity. She explains Stevens is in the "Source Code", an experimental device created by Dr. Rutledge (Jeffrey Wright), scientist for Beleaguered Castle (a military unit named after the card game), that allows its user to experience the last eight minutes of another compatible person's life within an alternate timeline. She tells him "everything is going to be OK", but she doesn't really seem sure why. Stevens is being asked to use Source Code to discover the location of a bomb aboard the train and identify the bomber who detonated it.

Goodwin explains that the train explosion occurred that morning, and was a warning by the bomber as a precursor to a larger dirty bomb that would be detonated in downtown Chicago. Though Stevens' actions cannot change the past and save the lives aboard the train, identifying the bomber in the alternate timeline will prevent the deaths of millions more in this one. Stevens enters the Source Code several more times and continues to rule out passengers suspected to be the bomber, as well as developing increasingly strong romantic feelings and empathy for Christina. Within these jumps, he learns that these events occurred two months after an incident while on duty in Afghanistan that reportedly killed him. Once he discovers this, he verbally accosts Goodwin for more information. She is forced to explain that the remains of his body are on life-support at the Source Code facility while his mind is hooked up to its computer systems, the cockpit being a mental projection of his own mind to cope with the experience. Angered to discover this, Stevens makes a deal to complete the mission, demanding that they terminate his life support after it is completed, to which Dr. Rutledge agrees.
