It was supposed to be an ordinary flight for pilot and 7500 protagonist Tobias Ellis (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Just steer the aircraft from Berlin, Germany to Paris, France. Just another day for a guy whose life takes place in the sky. Unfortunately, shortly into the fight, something goes horribly wrong. A group of terrorists take the cabin of the plane and begin to bang on the cockpit door. They want in, but Ellis, obeying protocol, refuses to let them in. The terrorists insist they'll start killing hostages if their demands aren't met. Screenwriter Patrick Vollrath attempts to enhance the intensity of this scenario by filming almost the entirety of 7500 from the cockpit of the plane.
