Non-Stop is a film where Bill Marks, (Liam Neeson) an air marshal, boards a plane to London expecting a smooth flight but is on board to make sure the flight is just that.
mid-way over the atlantic ocean Bill begins to get text messages from an unknown source telling him that every 20 mins someone on the plane will die.
In the opening scene we see Liam in his car before setting off to work. We can see that he is parked at an airport multi-story carpark. In his car we see a bottle of alcohol and a pack of cigerettes telling us that Bill (Liam) drinks and smokes, it isn't until later in the movie that we find out a possible reason why. Also in this opening scene we can hear Bill on the phone to someone, possibly his wife, as he gets out of the car an areoplane is seen taking off generating a very large amount of noise preventing Bill from talking on the phone leading him to hag up, this could represent the distance between him and his wife both physically and emotionally.
The lighting in the opening scene isn't dark but very natural, the main part of the film that makes it a thriller is the fact that on the areoplane no-one can come and help you. You are completely isolated. This point is made by Jen Summers (Julianne Moore)
