Morally-complex military thriller starring Oscar-winner Helen Mirren as the commander of a drone operation, tasked with capturing terrorists in Kenya only to have the whole mission turn sideways. Co-stars Alan Rickman (Harry Potter), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) and Oscar nominee Barkhad Abdi (Captain Phillips).
London-based military intelligence officer Colonel Katherine Powell (Mirren) is remotely commanding a top secret drone operation to capture a group of dangerous terrorists from their safe-house in Nairobi, Kenya. The mission suddenly escalates from a “capture” to a “kill” operation when Powell realizes that the terrorists are about to embark on a deadly suicide mission. 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 house. With unforeseen collateral damage now entering the equation, the impossible decision of when to strike gets passed up the “kill chain” of politicians and lawyers as the seconds tick down.
