Where did you save the file?

If on a server, you might be out of luck.

You can try and first move to your desktop, then open.

Did you already try and reboot the computer?

Is this the latest version of Illustrator?

Files can go corrupt. Unfortunately this happens.

It's the reason for backup copies and saving different versions.

Also: turn off "Save in background"

Does the file still open in Acrobat? In this case you could create a new Illustrator file and then place that file in it. Embed it. Your objects won't be fully editable, but most of it will be there.
