High school senior Wendy's premonition of a deadly rollercoaster ride saves her life and a lucky few, but not from death itself — which seeks out those who escaped their fate.
Final Destination 3 recap
At a theme park on graduation night, Wendy Christensen has a vision of the Devil's Flight roller coaster derailing. She gets off, and several others come off with her, but her boyfriend Jason and best friend Carrie stay on and are killed. Weeks later, Kevin, Carrie's boyfriend, tells Wendy about Flight 180. Wendy looks through photos she took that night and notices each one hints at how the person in it will die. Ashley and Ashlyn are burned alive in tanning beds. Frankie is killed by a truck's cooling fan at a drive-through, and Lewis by weights in a gym. Erin dies from a nail gun at a hardware store, and her boyfriend Ian blames Wendy. Wendy tries to save her sister Julie, who was also at the park.
