Director Patrick Vollrath

Genre Drama | Thriller

Cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Aylin Tezel, Omid Memar, Carlo Kitzlinger

Rating R

Release Date June 19th, 2020 (Amazon Prime)

“A pilot fights to maintain control of his airliner as terrorists storm the cockpit.”

The Emergency Code for a plane hijacking is 7500: a tense, intense thriller, told from the cockpit. A flight from Berlin to Paris. Everyday routine in the cockpit of an Airbus A319. Co-pilot Tobias Ellis is preparing the plane for take-off, which then follows without incident. Then we hear shouting in the passenger cabin. A group of young men try and storm the cockpit, among them 18-year old Vedat. A fight begins between crew and attackers, with the desire on the one hand to save individual lives and on the other to avert an even bigger catastrophe. The cockpit door becomes a battleground - and Tobias ends up being the arbiter over life and death. Check out the official trailer for 7500 below!!

Ted Takes Fun Facts, 7500:

  • Joseph Gordon-Levitt replaced Paul Dano for the lead role.

  • The film's title alludes to squawk code 7500. In the event of a hijacking, the pilot inputs ("squawks") the code into the transponder, an onboard electronic device used to identify the aircraft on air traffic control (ATC) radar monitoring systems. Squawk code 7500 silently alerts ATC of the situation without the hijacker's knowledge.
