Final Destination (2000) is a supernatural horror film directed by James Wong. The plot centers around a group of high school students who narrowly escape a deadly plane crash, only for death itself to pursue them one by one. The story begins with Alex Browning (Devon Sawa), who experiences a premonition just before boarding a flight with his classmates.

He foresees the plane exploding in mid-air, and in a panic, he convinces several others to leave the plane before takeoff. The plane later crashes, killing everyone on board, but Alex and a few others survive. As the survivors try to move on with their lives, they realize that death is not done with them yet.

It begins hunting them in the order they would have died on the plane, and each person’s attempt to avoid their fate only seems to lead to their inevitable demise. As the survivors try to outsmart death, they must find a way to break the chain before it’s too late. The film explores themes of fate, destiny, and the inevitability of death, with tension rising as the characters grapple with the realization that they cannot escape their preordained end.

The movie became a cult classic and spawned several sequels, each continuing the story of characters battling against death’s relentless pursuit.
