The British film Eye in the Sky tackles the issue of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, aka drones, which have become a new-age weapon, but which causes a lot of controversy. Attacks with these types of aircraft seem like a computer game, but leave behind a lot of collateral damage. The thriller stars Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul, Alan Rickman and Barkhad Abdi, and Gavin Hood hovers over the drone warfare film like the drones above our heads.
Decision making in wartime is an extremely difficult job, as the trailer for the film once again convinces us Eye in the Sky. The story revolves around a mission whose original purpose is to capture the enemy in Nairobi, Kenya, i.e. radicalized British women. But after a British-American military attaché with high-tech tools realizes that there are two in the house with her extremely wanted terrorist with a pile of explosive bodies, the mission turns deadly in no time.
