Final 2001

It all starts with a TV newsman reporting on Flight 180 and its survivors, emphasizing that only one individual, Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), has made it through alive. Next, we meet Kimberly (A.J. Cook), who is about to embark on a road trip with her friends. As they hit the road, she drives alongside her girlfriend while two stoners lounge in the backseat. During their drive, her father calls to alert her about the low transmission fluid, advising her to check it out. She acknowledges the warning but her friend insists they should keep driving despite a warning light illuminating on the dashboard.

As they continue, Kimberly encounters a chaotic scene involving a bus filled with rowdy football players, a jock, a cyclist, a mother and son, a truck loaded with logs, a drunken driver, a stoner, and a cop. In a sudden chain of events triggered by the cop spilling his coffee, catastrophe strikes. Logs tumble from the truck, wreaking havoc as they smash through windows, causing the stoner’s car to flip, the cyclist to collide with a motorcycle, and leading to explosions involving the mother and son. Just as tragedy seems to settle, Kimberly’s vehicle flips as well, and she thinks things are alright until she witnesses the fiery demise of the jock’s car. Just then, she wakes up to realize it was nothing but a nightmare.

Pulling over to gather her thoughts, Kimberly blocks traffic and explains what she saw to a nearby cop, Thomas (Michael Landes). Initially skeptical, he believes her only when the truck zooms by, resulting in a series of explosions that ultimately claim the lives of her friends. Distraught, she is taken to the police station where conversations of coincidences arise, drawing parallels to the fate of Alex from the original film. The group discusses their predicament, pondering if death is coming for them next, and they learn of Clear Rivers, the only survivor from the previous disaster.

The film then shifts to Evan (David Paetkau), a lottery winner, facing a series of unfortunate events, including getting his hand trapped in a garbage disposal. Just moments later, as he escapes his apartment, calamity follows in lightning speed. Meanwhile, Thomas researches Flight 180, uncovering the demise of Alex and Clear. As the survivors watch news coverage of the incident, Kimberly feels compelled to visit Clear in a mental institution. During their conversation, Clear reveals a harrowing truth: she believes Kimberly must save herself as her friends are doomed.

Back at home, Kimberly’s sense of dread deepens as she fears for the safety of Nora (Lynda Boyd) and Tim (James Kirk). In a dramatic twist, a series of misfortunes begin targeting them. At the dentist, Tim’s ordeal takes a horrifying turn after an unexpected incident with a bird. Later, an accident involving falling glass results in tragedy.

Escalating tension leads Kimberly to seek out Clear again, forming an alliance to fight against their impending fate. As they rally the other survivors, headed by Thomas, the group engages in desperate discussions about how to thwart death’s designs. However, fate deals another cruel hand when Nora faces a deadly mishap in an elevator, resulting in her gruesome death, throwing the remaining survivors into utter chaos.

Eugene (Terrence ‘T.C.’ Carson) becomes the next in line as events unfold leading to another horrific showdown with death. As the group reflects on their interconnected near-death experiences, the realization strikes – they are all entwined with the Flight 180 survivors’ fate.

Amidst these traumatic experiences, the urgency to save Isabella, a pregnant woman, intensifies. A fire ignites chaos in the hospital, leading to devastating losses. As death’s relentless grip tightens, the survivors discover that the only way to escape their predestined fate might involve the creation of new life.

In a gripping climax, Kimberly confronts her fate as she plunges her vehicle into a lake in a desperate attempt at survival. Surrounded by darkness, she experiences flashbacks of her friends before awakening back to reality, with Thomas by her side, signifying a new chance at life.

However, peace is short-lived as they join a gathering at the farmer’s house, where an impending explosion foreshadows a final twist of fate that underscores the relentless nature of death and its unforeseen consequences. In the background, chaos is unleashed, with a barbecue blowing up, leading to a chilling realization of their intertwined destinies.
