Eye in the Sky follows Colonel Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren), a UK-based military officer in command of a top secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. Using remote surveillance and on-the-ground intelligence, 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 American and British government, over the moral, political and personal implications of modern military operations.

"Eye in the Sky is compelling, offering the best elements of a drama and a thriller."
"Gripping and intelligent, Eye in the Sky is edge-of-your-seat cinema that also sheds light on a difficult and complex subject. "
"I'm ready to call Eye in the Sky the best film of the year, thus far."
"A tension thrill ride that leaves you in awe of the talent on screen and off. Saddening that this is Alan Rickman's final project but a worthy one."
