It is the first film in the "American Pie" theatrical series. The film was a box-office hit and spawned three direct sequels: "American Pie 2" (2001), "American Wedding" (2003), and "American Reunion" (2012). The film concentrates on five best friends (Jim, Kevin, Oz, Finch, and Stifler) who attend East Great Falls High. With the exception of Stifler (who has already lost his virginity), the guys make a pact to lose their virginity before their high school graduation. The title is borrowed from the song of the same name and refers to a scene in the film, in which the protagonist is caught masturbating with a pie after being told that third base feels like "warm apple pie".
