If you are like most Americans, you are probably asking yourself, "How can I educate myself about the important issue of snakes on a plane?" Fortunately, New Line Cinema has prepared an educational film on this very subject, starring Samuel L. Jackson...

I'm finding web pages all over the net sharing my enthusiasm for the upcoming summer blockbuster.

VOICE OVER: In a world where snakes can get on a plane...

TICKET LADY: Enjoy the flight, Mr...(CHECKING THE NAME ON THE TICKET) Snakerson.

Even the screenplay writer behind "War of the Worlds" is weighing in.

"There are snakes on the plane. End of fucking story."

Apparently there was some controversy when New Line Pictures considered switching the title to Pacific Air 121. But in an interview, Samuel L. Jackson set them straight.

Samuel L. Jackson: Snakes on a Plane, man!

Interviewer: Exactly.

Samuel L. Jackson: We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title.

Interviewer: Snakes on a Plane! That's everything!

Samuel L. Jackson: You either want to see that, or you don't.

This was a relief to comic strip characters everywhere.

See actual photos from the film!
