Final Destination

'Final Destination' is a American film directed by James Wong. Its success led to multiple sequels, thus creating the Final Destination saga. Initially conceived by Jeffrey Reddick as the plot for an episode of the series 'The X-Files', the subsequent interest from James Wong and Glen Morgan transformed the script into an independent film. It premiered in the United States on March 17, 2000.

The protagonist is Alex Browning, a young teenager who is about to embark with all his classmates on a trip to Paris. Once on the plane, Browning has a premonition that the aircraft is going to suffer an accident, and ends up leaving it along with some classmates after causing a small commotion on board. Shortly after takeoff, the plane explodes, thus confirming the young man's forebodings.

Weeks later, one of the survivors, Tod, ends up dying accidentally in his home. Although authorities point to suicide, Alex investigates and concludes that his vision disrupted Death's plans, which is now going to claim the lives of all those who survived the accident. In light of this, the young man tries to convince the survivors of what is happening.

'Final Destination' stars Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith, and Tony Todd. The film was a major commercial success, grossing $112.9 million worldwide against a budget of only $23 million. It triumphed especially among horror genre enthusiasts, winning the Saturn Award for Best Horror Film in 2000.
