Devon Sawa plays Alex Browning in the first Final Destination film.
Alex is a high-school student who experiences a premonition that Air France Flight 180 will explode shortly after takeoff. He panics and is removed from the plane with several classmates and a teacher before the disaster occurs.
The survivors then begin dying in a sequence that suggests Death is correcting the outcome and reclaiming those who escaped the flight. Alex becomes the group’s main investigator, trying to identify a pattern and find a way to break it.
The character’s surname is sometimes confused with the names of other franchise leads, including Kimberly Corman in Final Destination 2 and Wendy Christensen in Final Destination 3. James Wong directed the 2000 original, which grew from an unused idea for an episode of The X-Files.
