Hours Plot Summary
What happens in Hours from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In 2005, Nolan Hayes [Paul Walker] rushes his wife, Abigail [Génesis Rodríguez], to a New Orleans hospital as she is in labor five weeks early. She dies in childbirth, leaving behind a newborn daughter who must be kept on a ventilator for the next two days until she can breathe on her own. As Hurricane Katrina bears down, the hospital is evacuated, and Nolan is left alone with his daughter—who they name Abigail after her mother—because the ventilator cannot be moved. In his search for food, Nolan encounters a cook who gives him change for the vending machines and some sausage. A nurse promises to bring back help, but a basement flood triggers a power outage, forcing Nolan to find a generator for the ventilator battery.
