Alex Browning (Sawa) and his class-mates are off on a holiday of a lifetime to Paris.
Boarding the plane, Alex suffers a vivid and terrifying premonition of the plane's total destruction.
In the scuffle that follows his demented warnings to fellow passengers, seven people are forced to leave the plane and miss their flight.
Whilst waiting in the airport lounge, Alex's vision becomes terrifying reality as the plane explodes, resulting in total loss of life.
Alex begins to realise that, having cheated Death, Death will still come looking for them.
What follows is a fruity horror cocktail consisting of a dash of Dead Zone, a slurp of Fearless, a double shot of The Omen - all topped up with a very large measure of the X-Files.
The latter is not in the least surprising, as director James Wong has been working on the long-running series for a number of years, both as writer and director.
Final Destination may draw inspiration from many places, but the resulting film is fast, fun, often innovative and a good humorous horror flick to keep you entertained.
