7500 is a 2019 action-thriller film directed by Patrick Vollrath (in his feature-length directorial debut) and written by Vollrath and Senad Halilbašić. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tobias Ellis, a pilot whose plane is hijacked by Islamic terrorists. An international co-production between Austria, Germany, and the United States, filming took place in November 2017 in Cologne and Vienna. The title is in reference to Emergency Transponder Code for "unlawful interference".
The film's world premiere occurred at the Locarno Film Festival on 9 August 2019 and was digitally released in the United States on 18 June 2020, by Amazon Studios to mixed reviews from critics, with praise to Gordon-Levitt's performance.
