Alex Browning is embarking on a trip to Paris with his high school French class on flight 180.
In the plane's cabin, buckled-in and ready for take-off, Alex experiences a powerful premonition: he sees the plane explode in a fiery blaze moments after leaving the ground.
Alex panics and insists that everyone get off the plane. In the melee that ensues seven people, including Alex, are forced to disembark the ill-fated aircraft.
Back in the departure lounge Alex and his friends Billy and Tod; Clear, a young woman who instinctively heeded Alex's warning; Carter, whose derision of Alex's paranoia had him and his girlfriend Terry thrown off the plane; and Ms. Lewton, the teacher who volunteers to stay with the disembarking students, all watch as Alex's horrific premonition proves tragically accurate when the plane explodes in a catastrophic fireball.
Ironically, even though Alex's intuition saves lives, after the crash he is plagued by both guilt and suspicion.
Alex comes to believe that somehow, he and the other survivors have briefly cheated death, but will not be able to evade their fate for very long.
Tagline: Most people have dreams. For Alex, this is real.
