It's morality vs military for the Eye In The Sky trailer

Drones have become an increasing part of our lives; never more so than in combat overseas. But the morality of using these high-tech weapons has ventured into ever cloudier territory and the debate over targeting terrorists versus civilian collateral damage is key to the plot of new thriller Eye In The Sky, which has launched a new trailer

The story finds Britain¡¦s Operation Cobra board assembled when Susan Danford, now known as Aisha Al Hady (Lex King), a radicalized UK citizen who has joined Somali terrorist group Al Shabab, is spotted meeting high-ranking members of the organization. Initially, Colonel Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren) is ordered to capture her, but when drone surveillance discovers that they¡¦re planning suicide attacks and have the weapons to hand, the instructions are quickly switched to taking them out by any means necessary. But then Nevada-based drone operator Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) spots a nine-year-old girl in the potential kill zone, and the debate starts to rage about whether a target like this is justified given the results.

With the likes of Alan Rickman, Barkhad Abdi, Iain Glen and Jeremy Northam in the cast, this one features a script by Guy Hibbert and Ender¡¦s Game's Gavin Hood directing. The thriller will be out in the UK on April 8.

Helen Mirren fights the war on terror in the Eye in the Sky trailer

Academy Award winner Helen Mirren (The Queen) and Aaron Paul (¡§Breaking Bad¡¨) acquire their target in the new North American trailer for Bleecker Street¡¦s Eye in the Sky. The upcoming thriller opens in select theaters March 11, 2016, and you can watch the Eye in the Sky trailer below!


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. The carefully planned mission suddenly escalates from a ¡§capture¡¨ to a ¡§kill¡¨ operation when Madden realizes that the terrorists are about to embark on a deadly suicide mission, which would result in the catastrophic deaths of many innocent civilians. Meanwhile American drone pilot Steve Watts (Paul) is poised to destroy the safe-house when a nine year old girl enters the kill zone just outside the walls of the targeted house. With unforeseen collateral damage now entering the equation and with the volatility of the situation increasing with every second that passes, Madden must now pass the mission¡¦s authority up the ¡§kill chain¡¨ to politicians and lawyers, including British Foreign secretary James Willett, who must weigh both the legality and morality of action and inaction.

Also starring Alan Rickman (the ¡§Harry Potter¡¨ franchise), Barkhad Abdi (Captain Phillips), Jeremy Northam (¡§The Tudors¡¨), Iain Glen (¡§Game of Thrones¡¨) and Phoebe Fox (The Woman in Black: Angel of Death), the film is directed by Gavin Hood (Tsotsi, Ender¡¦s Game) and written by Guy Hibbert (¡§Prime Suspect¡¨). Producers are Ged Doherty, Colin Firth and David Lancaster.
