NO ACCIDENTS. NO COINCIDENCES. NO ESCAPES.

Final Destination is a 2000 horror/thriller film directed by James Wong and written by Jeffrey Riddick.

Plot:
Alexander "Alex" Chance Browning (Devon Sawa) is flying off to Paris, France with his classmates Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), William "Billy" Hitchcock (Seann William Scott), his rival Carter Horton (Kerr Smith), Carter's girlfriend Terry Chaney (Amanda Detmer), his bestfriends Tod Waggner (Chad Donella) and George Waggner (Brendan Fehr), Tod and George's girlfriends Blake Dreyer (Christine Chatelain) and Christa Marsh (Lisa Marie Caruk), and their teachers Valerie Lewton (Kristen Cloke) and Larry Murnau (Forbes Angus), through Volee Airlines Flight 180. At the plane, Alex has a premonition of the plane
exploding after take-off, killing everyone onboard. As he wakes up from this, he warns everyone about his premontion, sending him out of the plane with Clear, Carter, Terry, Ms. Lewton, Billy, and Tod. At the airport, as Carter fights with Alex, the plane explodes, just like Alex predicted. Everyone onboard, including Christa, Blake, George, and Mr. Murnau, are killed in the explosion.

The next day, a memorial was held for the people who perished in Flight 180. Also, Clear gives Alex a rose for thanking, a sign of the beginning of their relationship. That night, Alex is feeling something will go wrong after seeing "signs". Meanwhile, as Tod is hanging his clothes in the bathroom, a bottle of shampoo falls, causing it to open. As he goes forward, he slips on the shampoo, causing himself to tumble into the clothesline, which twirls around his neck. Tod, now with red eyes, is trying to grab a nail clipper to cut the wire, but finally dies. The next morning, Alex visits Tod's house, only to be fought by Tod's father. Clear, who was also there, takes Alex to her house to refresh his mind. As he shows some of the plane's debris, Alex pleads her to take him to Tod's body. At the morgue, they meet mortician William Bludworth (Tony Todd), who tells them about Death's Design. Although troubled with the design, Alex feels William may have a point. At a cafe, Alex shows Clear some proofs about Death's Design. Alex then sees another sign. Meanwhile, Carter and Terry arrives, followed by Ms. Lewton and Billy. Carter ensues another fight with Alex. Distraught, Terry leaves him, and is hit by a bus. All the remaining survivors are shocked.

At night, Alex watches the CNN report about the plane explosion. As he views the report, he notices the pattern of the explosion. This makes him conclude that they are dying the same way they should have in the plane. Upon arriving in Ms. Lewton's house, he is confronted by Agent Schreck and Agent Weine. Meanwhile, Ms. Lewton didn't notice that her vodka mug is dripping some alcohol, leaving a trail of alcohol around her house. As she puts her mug on top of her computer's monitor, some vodka dripped on it's controls, causing it to release smoke. Ms. Lewton observes this, and comes closer to the monitor. The monitor explodes, releasing a shard of glass to her throat, causing her to bleed. Meanwhile, Alex is seeing signs everywhere, making him realize that it is already happening. At Ms. Lewton's house, Ms. Lewton goes to her kitchen. Some of the monitor's fiering shards drops in the trail of alcohol, causing fire to spread into the kitchen. At the kitchen, Ms. Lewton is trying to remove the shard, not noticing the fire has reached her oven behind her. The oven explodes, causing herself to slip. She tries to reach a towel, which she didn't know it was on top of a knife counter. As the towel drops, a butcher knife drops into her chest, but not to deeply. Just then, Alex arrives, and sees her lying on the kitchen floor. As Alex will remove the knife, another explosion occurs, causing a chair to topple and push the knife further into Ms. Lewton's body. The stove explodes, and Alex races out her house. Ms. Lewton's entire house explodes.

At their school, Carter is frustrated over Terry's death. With him is Billy, who is then followed by Alex and Clear. At Carter's car, Alex tells them about Death's Design. Just then, he has another premonition that someone will die. Carter asks him who is next. Although he didn't tell him about it, Carter knows that he is the next to die. As he discovers this, he stalls his car on the rail tracks. As everyone escapes, Carter decides to stay to prove that he has control over his death. As a train is coming to his path, Carter decides to leave the car, only to find his seatbelt jammed. Alex helps him, and they eventually cheat death as Carter was saved. The train smashes Carter's car. At the station, Billy is frustrated that Carter hasn't die for he doesn't want to believe that he is next. Suddenly, a piece of debris from the car flies into the air and decapitates Billy. The remaining survivors are stunned.

As everyone goes home, Alex realizes he is next to die. Meanwhile, he is chased by Agent Schreck and Agent Weine. While hiding, he realizes Carter skips Death, and the List continues to Billy. Alex also remembers that he switched seats in the plane with Blake and Christa, therefore, Clear is the real next victim. Meanwhile, Clear wakes up to see her house being surrounded by livewire cables. As he goes to the garage, she quickly goes inside her car to avoid electrocution. As she moves her car backward, several livewire cables surrounded it, trapping her inside. Alex arrives, and convinces her to stay calm. He says to her that she must run as fast as she could after he picks up the cables. Although worried with Alex, Clear successfully escapes after Alex grabs the cable away from the vehicle, throwing himself from a distance. The car explodes, and Clear, Agent Weine, and Agent Schreck find Alex unconscious.

Six months later, Alex, Clear, and Carter successfully arrive in Paris. At a restaurant, Alex believes that when someone skips Death, he will be attacked by Death once more. Clear and Carter believes it's all just nonsense. Alex then sees signs all around him, and decides to leave. Clear now sees signs like Alex, and warns him to back off. As Alex backs off, a bus runs to his path, almost hitting him. The bus hits a bus stop sign, sending it flying into the air. The bus stop sign knocks several cables of a big neon sign, partially falling some of it. The neon sign is heading towards Alex, only to be saved by Carter. Carter asks him who is next, and Alex responds that Death skipped him. The neon sign comes back toward Carter, and before the neon sign hits him, the credits roll.

VOLEE AIRLINES FLIGHT 180: According to the CNN report at the film, deterioration of silicon insulation on an electrical connector to the scavenger pump may have leaked combustible fluids. A spark in the fuel switch (Tod's seat) may have ignited the fuel line (Terry's seat) and proceeded to the fuel pump (Valerie's seat), and proceeds to another fuel line (Carter's seat). The fuel line (William's seat) leads to the main engine (Clear's seat & Alexander's seat), causing the whole plane to explode in mid-air.
