The story is about a group of seven high school students who survive a plane crash (New York to Paris... sniff, sniff... I smell something tasteless here) when one of them freaks out after boarding the plane and runs out, with the others following him. As the boy is freaking out in the terminal, you see the plane pass by, climbing into the sky when suddenly, "pop!"—the plane explodes into an impressive fireball with flaming bits falling into the ocean.

It turns out that the boy, Alex (who cares what he actor's name is—I have never heard of him!), has somehow started having visions of the future deaths of himself and the six others. The movie goes on with each of them getting killed in some strange and horrible way until he figures out there is some order to the deaths. He then tries to avoid death, and gets in the way of the next person that is about to die so that they may skip their turn and avoid their demise. That is basically the plot (I did say it was a simple movie!). There are some pretty juicy deaths in the movie: a head cut off; girl gets hit by bus; the teacher's computer blows up, sets her on fire and kills her with a sharp, pointy knife!

The movie is kind of like Friday the 13th, The Dead Zone, and TWA Flight 800 (they even showed images from the real Flight 800 crash—ewww, bad!).

The DVD had a lot of extra stuff on it: an alternate ending, interviews with the actors, two extra soundtracks for the movie (actors and director), and even a stupid game that would tell you exactly the day you would die after asking you a bunch of questions.
