A simple observation mission by a drone pilot becomes something more when the target turns out to be three top-ranked terrorists – with a suicide vest. And then a little girl wanders into the target area…

Eye in the Sky looks at the mechanics of the decision making process as politicians at the highest levels of the U.S. and U.K. government debate what to do next.

Eye in the Sky will be in theaters on March 11, 2016. Check out the trailer after the break.

EYE IN THE SKY stars Helen Mirren as Colonel Katherine Powell, a UK-based military officer in command of a top secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. Through remote surveillance and on-the-ground intel, Powell discovers the targets are planning a suicide bombing and the mission escalates from “capture” to “kill.” But as American pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) is about to engage, a nine-year old girl enters the kill zone, triggering an international dispute reaching the highest levels of US and British government over the moral, political, and personal implications of modern warfare. Also starring Alan Rickman, Barkhad Abdi, Jeremy Northam, Iain Glen and Phoebe Fox, the film is directed by Gavin Hood (TSOTSI) and written by Guy Hibbert (“Prime Suspect”). Producers are Ged Doherty, Colin Firth and David Lancaster.
