Plots(1)
The film centres on Colonel Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren), a UK military intelligence officer in command of a top-secret operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. When Powell learns the terrorists are about to embark on a deadly suicide mission, the operation escalates from "capture" to "kill." American drone pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) is poised to engage when, suddenly, a nine-year-old girl enters the kill zone. As the military's man-on-the-ground risks everything to save the girl, the impossible decision of when to strike gets passed up the "kill chain" of politicians and lawyers as the seconds tick down. With nuanced performances from a terrific ensemble cast, Eye in the Sky deftly explores the ethical conundrum of collateral damage; should one innocent life be sacrificed to save hundreds more? Moving at a heart-racing pace, Eye in the Sky takes us into a moral and political minefield, where every decision comes at a steep price. (Entertainment One)
