Final Destination 5

Sam, a young engineer, and his coworkers approach a routine field trip that ends at a tense moment on a long suspension bridge. Sam experiences a vivid premonition of the bridge failing and killing everyone aboard. He warns his colleagues and they abandon the trip just before the collapse, including Molly and Peter Friedkin. In the aftermath the group believes they are safe, but Death is not done. A series of inexplicable accidents begin to erase the survivors, as if fate has a precise timetable. With time slipping away, Sam and the others race to decipher the pattern and avoid the deadly sequence that seems to be closing in on them.
