Short description

FBI agent Neville Flynn boards a flight from Honolulu, Hawaii to Los Angeles, escorting a key witness to testify against a mob boss at an upcoming trial. An on-board assassin releases a crate full of hundreds of deadly venomous snakes in an attempt to eliminate the witness. Flynn and a host of frightened passengers and crew must band together to survive the slithery threat.

What's left behind the scenes

Ronny Yu was initially the producers’ first choice for director, but he soon left the project due to creative differences and budget overruns.
Rumor has it that at the premieres of "Snake Flight" in some American cities (specifically, Phoenix, Arizona), real rattlesnakes were released into the movie theaters to frighten the audience.
Ronny Yu was the producers' first choice for the director's position. The director of "Freddy vs. Jason" took on the work with great enthusiasm, but was fired due to creative differences and budget overruns. David R. Ellis replaced him.
An unprecedented incident occurred during the making of the film. Fans of the project, who followed the filming process online, forced the producers to reshoot several scenes in order to change the film's rating from PG-13 to a more restrictive R rating. In March 2006, six months after the completion of principal photography, an additional five days were allocated for this purpose.
Samuel L. Jackson agreed to the role only because of the title. During filming, there was an attempt to change the film's title to Pacific Air Flight 121, but the actor issued an ultimatum – either the film retains its original title, or he would leave the project.
