Snakes On A Plane Movie Poster

When a young man (Nathan Phillips) witnesses a brutal mob murder, it falls to FBI agent Neville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson) to escort his charge safely from Hawaii to Los Angeles to testify. But in an act of self-preservation, the crime boss facing prison smuggles hundreds of poisonous snakes onto the commercial aircraft in a crate timed to release its deadly cargo halfway over the Pacific. Flynn, along with a frightened flight crew and passengers, must then band together in a desperate attempt to survive.

"Snakes On A Plane"
Behind The Scenes

With the tremendous interest and rabid fan base that sprung up from the moment Snakes on a Plane went into production, it was inevitable that more than a few urban myths would develop around the film. Here’s a look at some of the most common misconceptions about Snakes on a Plane.

FICTION: The original title for Snakes on a Plane was Pacific Air 121.
FACT: The real genesis of Snakes on a Plane began with a screenplay written nearly a decade ago by David Dallesandro called Venom. That script, which told the story of one snake that gets loose on a plane, caught the attention of producer Craig Berenson who bought the underlying rights to the material with the idea of one day turning it into something bigger, better, and deadlier. Years later, Berenson’s assistant, John Heffernan, sparked to the idea and penned a new version of the story which would eventually be called Pacific Air 121 for a brief period of time before settling on its ultimate title – Snakes on a Plane.

FICTION: The famous Samuel Jackson line that was added to the film is “I want these motherf#%$in’ snakes off this motherf#%$in’ plane!”
FACT: It’s true that in response to the overwhelming fan interest in the film, a line of dialogue was added to the film for Samuel L. Jackson’s character. However, the real line that made it into the film is, “Enough is enough! I’ve had it with these motherf#%$in’ snakes on this motherf#%$in’ plane!”

FICTION: Snakes could never actually get loose on a plane.
FACT: Tell that to West Virginia pilot Monty Coles. He recently found himself face to face with a four-and-a-half-foot black snake that was peering out at him from his plane’s instrument panel as he prepared to land over southern Ohio, according to an Associated Press story. At 3,000 feet, Coles grabbed the snake in one hand and made an emergency landing with the other. As he told the control tower…”I have one hand full of snake and the other full of plane.”

FICTION: Snakes on a Plane is just a movie title.
FACT: Quite to the contrary, Snakes on a Plane has become a true piece of pop culture slang. As originally defined by writer Josh Friedman in an August 2005 blog posting, the phrase “Snakes on a Plane” has come to symbolize “…a sort of philosophy. Somewhere in between ‘C’est la vie,’ ‘Whattya gonna do?’ and ‘Shit happens.’”

FICTION: The snakes in Snakes on a Plane are all CGI.
FACT: It may help you sleep at night to believe that all the snakes in the film were computer generated, but the production actually used more than 400 live snakes during the shoot.
