Chekhov's Gag | |
| Lift (2024) / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: Mollson, a silicon valley Tech Bro the crew meet earlier at the auction house has a plane decked out in LCD panels, and Mollson writes some odd things on there for a laugh to show off and flaunt their wealth. This turns out to be useful later on as this is used to send a message to the NATO Pilots that there are hostages on-board and shouldn't be shot down. | |

Title In | |
| Lift (2024) / int_37d2818 | comment |
Title In: The film uses the Captain America: Civil War-style of representing place names with big text that are blended into the location, and only swaps the location for the country if it's impossible for the audience to recognise (such as the shed in the middle of Northern Ireland Cormac tortures Arthur Tigue in). | |

You Have Failed Me: Arthur Tigue, INTERPOLS' mole in Lars's organisation, gets killed by Cormac after revealing half the plan to INTERPOL, and Lars briefly tells Arthur of his fate via videocall. | |

Race Against the Clock | |
| Lift (2024) / int_496569e8 | comment |
Race Against the Clock: The heist is set to take place within 17 days of INTERPOL hiring the crew. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the gold is being moved earlier than expected, and the timeline gets cut down to ten days, something which concerns Cyrus enough to try and break off the crew to let them walk away without shame. The overriding of the plane transponders requires strict timing, and at one point Abby has to fake the Mile-High Club experience with Cyrus to put the transponder back together after breaking it. | |

The Faceless | |
| Lift (2024) / int_7abba202 | comment |
The Faceless: "N8", the artist Cyrus's crew kidnaps, is initially shown wearing a golden mask and a voice-changer. They're a Reclusive Artist, and takes measures to conceal their identity when they appear publicly. Their identity is revealed before the main plot begins, and are bald, male, and quite the Life of the Party. | |

An Offer You Can't Refuse | |
| Lift (2024) / int_7f38c0cd | comment |
An Offer You Can't Refuse: INTERPOL manages to successfully pin the stolen Van Gogh that Cyrus's crew stole at the beginning of the film. They use this as leverage to make them steal gold before Lars gets his hands on it so an official investigation by the agency can take place. Cyrus, wanting to avoids jailtime, accepts the offer Huxley proposes. | |

Meta Guy: Magnus is the most Genre Savvy of the crew, clearly believes the plane heist is something out of Hollywood, and repeatedly lampshades common Caper Crew tropes. | |

Big Bad | |
| Lift (2024) / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Lars Jorgensen and Leviathan both share this: the latter is set to be paid in gold by the former so they can control any utility system in the world, giving Lars carte blanche to profit off of the misery of others via shorting stocks as he causes flooding and mayhem. Subverted when Jorgensen murders the Leviathan leader when she tries to back out of the deal. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
| Lift (2024) / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: Denton comes off as The Ditz, but is far more cunning than he lets on, which in his line of work is rather the idea. On the flight mid-way through the film, he pretends to be an elderly flight-goer who cannot work the in-flight media system to distract the hostess. | |

Unspoken Plan Guarantee | |
| Lift (2024) / int_c82e751f | comment |
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: The film focuses on getting the gold from the plane, but doesn't show the gold being replaced by iron fakes made by Magnus while Cyrus was hiring Harry to work at the air traffic control. They had simply made sure that they were placed in the same planes' cargo hold alongside the real gold bullion. Once the gold was removed from the safe, Luke (who had excused himself to Cyrus over the phone before the plan starts by dropping out under the cover of last-minute pressure getting to him, knowing that Abby would be nearby Cyrus) and helped to jettison the gold bars out of the plane by guiding it via remote control to land in a river for pick-up a few weeks later once the snow had cleared. None of this is revealed until right at the end, and was kept secret from Abby, presumably because of their conflicting conscience of sticking with INTERPOL versus joining Cyrus's crew. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Huxley's Non-Answer about the fighter pilot situation (which he helped to scramble, and outright encouraged them to open-fire upon Cyrus's crew and Abby so the gold would never reach Lars), Abby finally quits INTERPOL on the spot out of disgust, and joins Cyrus and his crew. | |

Running Gag: Whenever Abby mentions that helping to steal the gold will come with the benefit of "saving lives", anyone responding to this point just shrugs it off, or jeers, and some are just incentivised by the pay, rather than anything moral. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: While Huxley is an absolute Jerkass to Gladwell and Cyrus and attempts to knowingly have the jet they and the rest of Cyrus' crew are being flown in with the gold shot down, Huxley visibly shows regret while making the order and only does it in order to prevent the gold from getting to Jorgensen and Leviathan, so Jorgensen doesn't kill anyone. | |
