7500

7500 (2019) is Patrick Vollrath's drama-thriller you can watch online on iFILM. In aviation, code 7500 signals a hijacking, and the film barely ever leaves the cramped cockpit where that code gets entered.

A routine Berlin to Paris flight. Co-pilot Tobias Ellis runs his checks, trades small talk with the captain, and then attackers force the cockpit door. From there he is on his own: wounded, locked in, flying the plane while deciding who he can protect and how. Joseph Gordon-Levitt carries almost the entire runtime in tight close-up, the camera fixed on his face.

Vollrath's first feature plays out in real time, with no score and no window onto the sky, just the instrument panel and a grainy cabin monitor. The title takes a distress code and treats it as the point where everything starts to unravel. Stream 7500 (2019) online on iFILM.
