After boarding an airplane destined for Paris, Alex Browning (Devon Sawa), a high school student going on his senior trip has a premonition about the plane exploding after takeoff. Scrared and freaked out, Alex tries to tell everyone about the explosion causing him to quarrel with a fellow student, Carter Horton (Kerr Smith) which gets them both kicked off the plane.

Along with them, Carter's girlfriend Terry (Amanda Detmer) who follows Carter, Alex's best friend Tod (Chad Donella) who gets off to make sure Alex is okay, Billy Hitchcock (Seann William Scott) who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, one of the faculty members Ms. Lewton (Kristen Cloke), and Clear Rivers whose motive for leaving was just out of belief of what Alex saw.

Soon after the plane takes off, the students watch as it explodes sending fear and curiousity into their hearts. A little over a month goes by when one of the survivors turns up dead. After that, Alex begins to question whether or not himself and the rest of the survivors are in danger.

Ali Quotes

• "When I read it, I was doing House on Haunted Hill, and I was excited. So many teen movies are fluffy. Sure, you can't take this too seriously; it's a fun ride. It's got the best deaths of any movie I've seen, and it's scary. But it makes you think about fate and destiny when you leave."

• "When it came out, no one realized what a success it would be. Afterward, the fans of the film told us that they loved being surprised and not having a masked murderer with a knife chasing victims."

Memorable Quotes

Critic Reviews

"Final Destination will no doubt be a hit and inspire the obligatory sequels. Like the original Scream, this movie is too good to be the end of the road. I have visions of my own." - (Read Full Review: Chicago Sun Times)	"The good natured carnage is only occasionally let down by a bog-standard chase finale and a script that feels like as though it's being delivered by Austin Powers' Basil Exposition." - (Read Full Review: Empire)
"A first-rate idea, the film unfortunately croaks long before the credits roll." - (Read Full Review: E! Online)	"Even by the crude standards of teenage horror, Final Destination is dramatically flat." - (Read Full Review: New York Times)
