Order 66 is the Order that Palpatine gives the Clone Trooper, who have apparently been programmed with a set of pre-existing orders.
Order 66 is "Kill All Jedi". The CloneTroopers kill every Jedi in the field, usually by shooting them from behind, except Yoda who is on Kashyyk helping the Wookies repel the Separatist forces, and Obi-Wan on Utapau who is shot at, falls into a lake, and is assumed dead by the clones.
Yoda, who has feels pain as various other Jedi are cut down, beheads the two CloneTroopers who try to come after him, and then escapes with the help of two Wookie commanders, Tarfull and Chewbacca.
As Order 66 is being carried out by the CloneTroopers offworld, Anakin -- in his first act as a Sith -- has lead a contingent of CloneTroopers into the Temple on Coruscant, and begun slaughtering Jedi.
Basically, Order 66 is the massacre of the Jedi. Only Obi-Wan and Yoda are known to have survived.
Since you can't go see the movie, you might want to read the script (http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-Revenge-of-the-Sith.html); there are several scenes that didn't make the theatrical release, mostly with Padme in them, but it's a pretty good overview of what happened.
