MTV has a short interview up with Sunny Mabrey who plays a stewardess. She does a remarkable job of restating the premise of the movie:
[The mobsters] see him and they’re after him, and Sam Jackson is a FBI guy sent to protect him. He’s going to L.A. to testify against this guy, and [Jackson] tries to throw them off the track by putting him in the first-class section of a passenger plane. Somehow, a mafia guy gets these black-market deadly snakes and he finds a way to get them on the plane and mayhem ensues.
I wonder how putting a witness in first class will “throw them off the track”?
