Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the title of this aeroplane thriller basically gives its plot away. The number is the emergency code pilots use to signal a hijacking to ground control, which is the exact position Gordon-Levitt's timid character, Tobias, finds himself in while flying a hijacked Airbus A319 flight from Berlin to Paris. Not long after takeoff, a group of terrorists manage to barge their way past the crew and into the cockpit with makeshift knives. Despite Tobias and others getting injured, the flight attendants are able to take control of the situation long enough for Tobias to lock and bolt the cockpit and issue a 7500 to ground control. He begins an emergency landing while simultaneously pleading for his passengers' safety.
