Passengers is based on a screenplay by screenwriter Ronnie Christensen.

There are many survivor movies in which everything at the end turns out to be absolutely different from what the audience is led to believe at the beginning. Two examples include Alucinação (2001) and O Parque Macabro (1962), both of which tell stories about a young woman surviving a car accident only to start having paranormal visions. Likewise, in Alucinações do Passado (1990), a traumatized Vietnam vet starts having hallucinations after returning home. In A Passagem (2005), a psychiatrist fights to maintain a grip on his own reality while counseling a suicidal patient. Pânico no Deserto (2005) and Identidade (2003) are both movies about people stranded at old motels who start having haunting visions and getting killed one by one. The family in Rota da Morte (2003) suffers a similar experience when they take a short cut while on their way to Christmas dinner. Two other recent movies with legendary twist endings include O Sexto Sentido (1999), in which a young boy sees ghosts, and Os Outros (2001), in which a woman is convinced that her house is haunted. Um Olhar do Paraíso (2009), tells the story of a teenage girl from the nostalgic days of the Seventies, who is a murder/rape victim and watches over her family from purgatory, and must get over her own emotions in order to move on to Heaven. Morrendo e Aprendendo (1993), deals with four bus crash victims who become guardian angels for a young boy (he believes them to be his imaginary friends). O Invisível (2007) follows a teenage boy whose spirit is stranded on earth.
