Snakes on a Plane is a high concept horror-thriller feature film starring Samuel L. Jackson. It was released by New Line Cinema on August 18, 2006 in North America. The David R. Ellis-helmed film was created by David Dalessandro and written by Dalessandro, John Heffernan, and Sheldon Turner.

The film has been rated R by the MPAA, 15 by the BBFC and 14A by the CHVRS, due to its content of coarse language, a scene of sexuality and drug use, and intense sequences of terror and violence.

Due to its considerable Internet fan base, New Line Cinema incorporated feedback from online users into its production.

The film wrapped up principal photography in September 2005, but after anticipation of the upcoming film grew to unexpected levels, the studio ordered five days of additional re-shooting to raise the MPAA rating from a PG-13 to an R.
