- Paul Blart (Kevin James) is a mild-mannered, overweight man who takes his job as a security guard at the fictional West Orange Pavilion Mall in West Orange, New Jersey very seriously. Blart lives with his elderly mother, Margaret (Shirley Knight) and daughter, Maya (Raini Rodriguez), and dreams of being able to join the New Jersey State Police, but he always fails his entrance test due to his hypoglycemia. While on patrol at work daily, Blart notices a new wig kiosk and its vendor, Amy Anderson (Jayma Mays) and is instantly attracted to her. Back at base, Blart has to take his trainee, Veck Simms (Keir O'Donnell) out on patrol. At the end of his shift, Blart becomes acquainted with Amy and escorts her to her yellow Ford Mustang convertible. Amy invites Blart to join her and others at a party in the mall later that evening, and Blart accepts and attends the event. During the event, Blart gets extremely drunk after drinking too much margarita during a nacho-eating contest with his equally overweight friend, Leon (Jamal Mixon), crashes the party, and eventually falls through the mall's window.
On Thanksgiving, Blart feels as though he embarrassed Amy and that she doesn't like him anymore. Maya attempts to cheer him up. On Black Friday at the mall, Amy and the rest of Blart's friends are in the bank to cash their paychecks. While the crowd is filing out, a gang of criminals suddenly break through the service entrance and take over the mall with Blart being distracted by playing Rock Band in the arcade zone. The criminals clear the entire mall, placing motion sensors along every entrance and exit doors, kidnap Amy and the rest of Blart's friends and hold them hostage inside the bank. Veck is revealed to be a double agent and the ringleader of the hijackers and plans to use the credit card codes from all the stores in the mall to steal $30 million and fly to the Cayman Islands, taking the hostages with him at gunpoint.
As Blart leaves the arcade, he notices that the entire mall has been taken over and calls the police, who later show up outside the front entrance of the mall. Sergeant Howard (Adam Ferrara) instructs Blart to leave the mall immediately, but when Blart unknowingly sees Amy's car in the parking lot, he realizes that Amy is still inside as a hostage and decides to rescue her and the rest of his friends. A state SWAT team soon arrives and Commander James Kent (Bobby Cannavale), a classmate and bully from Blart's high school, takes control of the situation. Though vastly outnumbered and physically outclassed, Blart fights against the gang members through improvised measures. Maya shows up at the mall to bring Blart his dinner, but Veck's henchmen kidnap her and hold her hostage as well.
After detaining all of Veck's underlings, Blart attempts to extract the hostages by pulling them up via the air-vent but fails after Leon cannot fit. Veck enters the room, and Blart is captured. He forces Blart to give up the credit card codes and escapes, taking Amy and Maya with him at gunpoint.
As policemen swarm the entire mall to apprehend the criminals and rescue the hostages, Blart steals the mall's display minivan and joins Kent in pursuing Veck to the airport, where Veck attempts to escape in a Cessna Citation III business jet along with Amy and Maya. After a brief fight, Blart overpowers and handcuffs Veck. However, Kent pulls his gun on Blart, revealing himself as a mole in the SWAT team who had been working with Veck the whole time. Kent demands Blart to give him the phone containing the codes, but Blart refuses and smashes it on the ground. Before Kent can kill Blart, Chief Brooks (Peter Gerety), who had stayed at the mall with the other policemen throughout the standoff, arrives and shoots Kent in his arm; the police arrive at the airport, where Kent is arrested, and Amy and Maya rescued.
The next day, Sergeant Howard offers Blart his job with the New Jersey State Police, but Blart decides that his place is protecting the people at the mall with Amy and the rest of his friends. The movie ends with Blart and Amy getting married in the mall and riding a Segway PT together.
