After witnessing gangster Eddie Kim brutally beat U.S. Prosecutor Daniel Hayes to death in Hawaii, Sean Jones is escorted by FBI agents Neville Flynn and John Sanders on a Boeing 747400 to testify in a trial in Los Angeles. Despite increased security for the flight, Kim arranges for a timerelease crate full of venomous snakes to be placed in the cargo hold in an attempt to bring down the plane before it reaches Los Angeles International Airport LAX.

The crate opens midway through the flight and the snakes make their way through the cabin. A couple having sex in the bathroom, and a man using the bathroom are the first killed. The planes captain, Sam McKeon, investigates and fixes an electrical short, but is killed by the viper that caused it. Copilot Rick, unaware of the snake, believes Sam has suffered a heart attack and continues toward LAX.Some of the snakes attack Rick, and while fending them off he accidentally releases the oxygen masks throughout the plane, causing several snakes to drop into the cabin with them.
