Amazon has released a trailer for its film 7500 and Joseph Gordon-Levitt pilots a hijacked plane in this exciting first look.
In the film, Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Tobias, a young American co-pilot on a flight from Berlin to Paris. Shortly after takeoff, terrorists armed with makeshift knives suddenly storm the cockpit, wounding both the pilot and Tobias, who swiftly contacts ground control to plan an emergency landing. But when the hijackers kill one passenger and threaten to murder more if he doesn’t let them back into the cockpit, this ordinary man faces an extraordinary test.
While the plot sounds like something we’ve all seen before, there is a bit of a visual trick that could make this film pretty interesting. All of the action takes place inside of the cockpit, which is equipped with cameras that allow the pilots to see the small sliver of space outside the door, but little beyond that. This visual concept adds to the notion that what you don’t see on camera is just as important as what you do see.
Directed by the Oscar-nominated Patrick Vollrath (Everything Will Be Okay), 7500 hits Amazon Prime Video on June 19.
