5) Proppian characters- Ethan is established as the hero. Benji and Luther are both established as the helpers. Brandt is established as the dispatcher.
Equilibrium- The key characters are presented and are trying to get an important package off a plane that is about to take off.
Disruption- The plane takes off and the hero holds onto the outside of the plane as the helper tries to open the plane's door. At first the helper fails making it harder for the hero to continue to hold on. The people flying the plane are presented as the villains.
New equilibrium- The hero figures out a way to attach himself to the important package and ultimately "saves the day" by getting the package out of the plane.
In media res- The film immediately starts with Benji spying on the plane, which has the important package. The film immediately starts with action as all the characters introduced are trying to figure out a way to obtain this package before it is too late.
Multiperspective narratives- In this initial scene, the film introduces four characters who are all in different locations, which shows different perspectives. None of these characters introduced are seeing the same thing, even though they all share a similar goal. The characters perspectives keep switching as the scene goes on.
6) The equilibrium theory is used here to establish the mission the four characters introduced are on; obtaining the important package from the plane that is about to take off. This mission is seen as stable or normal, until the plane takes off and the established hero is hanging off the side of the plane. This is the disruption in the scene, which is repaired when the hero figures out a way to obtain the package despite being in the air creating a new equilibrium.
