Story
While watching a car race at McKinley Speedway, Nick O'Bannon has a premonition of an impending crash that will result in numerous casualties, including several people around him. He manages to convince his girlfriend Lori, friends Hunt and Janet, and others to leave before the disaster strikes. Miraculously surviving the subsequent crash, they soon realize their escape was not meant to be when survivors start dying in gruesome accidents. Nick discovers that death is systematically claiming them according to the original order of those who left with him. In a desperate attempt to outwit death and save his friends, Nick must uncover why they were chosen and how he can cheat fate once again.
Summary
Final Destination (2009), directed by David R. Ellis, is a horror film that follows the genre's familiar tropes of supernatural events and gruesome deaths. The movie centers on the theme of cheating death through Nick O'Bannon's premonitions and his attempts to evade fate's grim plan for him and his friends. Set predominantly during a stock car racing event, the film explores the idea of luck running out and that 'you can't cheat death' once it has been stared down.
