Taking place eleven years ago, Final Destination 5 is a prequel to the Final Destination series that sends a group on a company retreat. While aboard the chartered bus, Sam (Nicholas D'Agosto) saves his co-workers after he has a vision of a bridge collapsing beneath him, killing all of the bus passengers. Though Sam saved them, his best friend's (Miles Fisher) girlfriend dies in a freak accident, followed by one of his co-workers (P.J. Byrne), and they slowly realize that surviving the bridge didn't stop their deaths... it just delayed them a little. Worse, they're being investigated by Courtney B. Vance, who's suspicious of the mounting deaths among the office-mates, and the mysterious coroner (Tony Todd) has only vague clues about how they might beat Death at its own game. With Emma Bell, Arlen Escarpeta, and David Koechner. On DVD and Blu-Ray.
