Factual error: One of the subplots involves a young boy ("Tommy") who is bitten by a cobra and the attempts to save his life. When they are working on his arm, it is horribly swollen & filled with fluid which they drain by cutting open his arm. Cobras secrete a neurotoxic venom which attacks the nervous system. It would not cause noticeable swelling at the bite site. The symptoms Tommy has would indicate a bite from a snake which secretes a hemotoxic venom (such as a rattlesnake), which attacks the blood stream & tissues, causing swelling.

Plot summary
Directed by: David R. Ellis
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Julianna Margulies, Nathan Phillips, Rachel Blanchard
A man witnesses a gangster (Eddie Kim) kill a prosecutor who had tried several times to send Eddie to jail. The witness is then convinced to testify against Eddie. The murder occurred in Hawaii, and they have to fly to LA. Snakes are in the cargo hold on a timed cage (apparently security didn't catch them because they are cold blooded) and were, of course, placed there by Eddie Kim so that the witness would not survive. The first people to die are a few kids joining the mile high club and one of the pilots. Then snakes start coming from everywhere and the passengers have to fight them off/barricade themselves from the overly aggressive snakes. The second pilot ends up dead and a man with experience flying planes on his PlayStation2 ends up landing the plane safely.

Trivia: The poster for this movie features two snakes wrapped around a plane in a double helix style, with the film title across the middle, However some posters feature the same snakes/planes but with the title underneath. Take a closer look at this second type of poster and match each snake's head to its tail. if you match the right snaked head to the left tail the other snake head doesn't match up to the tail. Try this in any combination you like, ie. left head/left tail or right head/left tail. You will always be left with a head not matching a tail.

Answer: Rattlesnakes only make a noise when they are disturbed and some rattlesnakes will even strike without starting to rattle first.
