Snakes On A Plane began life on internet fan pages whose members mused upon the idea before the filmmakers put it into serious development.

That being said, this isn't a serious movie, and the plot is beyond ridiculous. The title says it all, there's deadly snakes on a plane, released by a maniac to kill a witness (as well as everyone else) and it's down to Samuel L. Jackson to clean up the mess by dropping F-bombs at any opportunity.

This is not a good film, but provided brainless enjoyment to many. As far as bad films go, this is one for which the phrase "so bad, it's good" is incredibly apt.
