High school senior Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) boards Volee Airlines Flight 180, a Boeing 747, alongside his classmates for an exciting 10-day trip to Paris from John F. Kennedy Airport. This springtime adventure is expected to create unforgettable memories for the group of 40 students.
Just before takeoff, Alex experiences a shocking premonition. He envisions not only the boarding process but also various unsettling details: the poor condition of the plane, a seat switch with classmates Christa and Blake, a defective tray table, and a fatal mid-air explosion that takes the lives of everyone aboard. As the visions start unfolding in real-time, panic sets in, leading to a confrontation with his rival, Carter Horton (Kerr Smith). This altercation results in both Alex and his best friend Tod Waggner (Chad E. Donella) being removed from the flight, alongside Carter's girlfriend Terry Chaney (Amanda Detmer), teacher Valerie Lewton (Kristen Cloke), and fellow students Billy Hitchcock (Seann William Scott) and Clear Rivers (Ali Larter).
Though Valerie insists that the remaining students be chaperoned, only Clear acknowledges Alex's disturbing vision, as none of the other passengers believe him until the plane tragically explodes moments after takeoff. The consequences are devastating, marking the loss of several classmates, including Christa and Blake.
In the aftermath, as the survivors become subjects of an FBI investigation led by agents Weine (Daniel Roebuck) and Schreck (Roger Guenveur Smith), Alex struggles to explain his premonition regarding the explosion. With the weight of the tragedy pressing down, tensions rise among the survivors. Carter, refusing to accept any responsibility toward Alex, vows to lead his life independently.
Thirty-nine days later, during a memorial service for the deceased, fate takes another cruel turn when a freak accident leads to Tod's untimely death, shrouded in mystery that leaves everyone questioning its cause. Clear and Alex share a profound connection, suggesting she sensed his turmoil even before the plane incident. Together, they dare to uncover the truth behind Tod's death, discovering hints of a manipulated timeline where death is reclaiming those who escaped its grasp.
Confronting the reality that they are entangled in death’s intricate designs, Alex and Clear must strategize to elude further tragedies. As they grapple with the circumstances surrounding Terry's misfortune, who meets her demise in a freak accident, they realize they cannot escape their fate unless they understand the sequence of events set in motion by their survival.
Alex is thrust into a desperate quest to save Clear from becoming the next victim. With every revelation, he uncovers the chilling nature of death’s revenge for disrupting its plan. After numerous nail-biting incidents, including a dramatic rescue of Clear from an explosive situation in her vehicle, the grim nature of their existence becomes ever more apparent.
Ultimately, the survivors embark on a trip to Paris to celebrate their escape from death. Yet, as Alex reveals the grim truth that death never truly left him, everything spirals toward a shocking conclusion when Carter sacrifices himself to save Alex, leaving the lingering question: Can they ever truly escape from death's design?
