Eye in the Sky movie quotes tell the story of how the moral, ethical and legal implications of drone warfare are tested when a simple capture could have deadly results. The British thriller was write by Guy Hibbert and directed by Gavin Hood. After premiering at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, Eye in the Sky opened theatrically on March 11, 2016, in the United states and April 8, 2016, in the United Kingdom.
In Eye in the Sky, Colonel Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren) heads up a team who look to locate, spy on and eventually capture a terrorist group. Among those in the group include Brit Ayesha AL-Hady AKA Susan Danford and two others on the 10 most wanted terrorists list. Using a drone, they locate those three in a safe house, where the terrorists are preparing for a suicide attack.
Much to the ire of others involved, including Lieutenant General Frank Benson (Alan Rickman) and British Foreign Secretary James Willett (Iain Glen), Powell changes the mission to not capture AL-Hady but send in a hellfire missile to kill all in the home. This plan is further complicated by the pushback from American drone pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) who declines to send in the missile while a little girl remains within the casualty area. As the sides argue about the best move, their moral and legal obligations are tested.
Eye in the Sky opened alongside other great March 2016 films including 10 Cloverfield Lane, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Knight of Cups, and Zootopia.

Dozens of Lives Are at Stake
Lieutenant General Frank Benson: Well this changes things.
...
Steve Watts: What's happening?
Sergeant Mushtaq Saddiq: We see a suicide vest and a whole bunch of explosives.
...
Brian Woodale: What's the plan, General?
Lieutenant General Frank Benson: We the ability to strike a target with considerable accuracy.
Angela Northman: I came here to witness a capture, not a targeted assassination.
Lieutenant General Frank Benson: Dozens of lives are at stake if these men leave.
The appearance of a little girl in their blast zone changes the mission and polarizes the team. Some feel that they must take out these dangerous targets, regardless of the consequence, while others want a capture, not a kill.
No One Wants to Take Responsibility
Colonel Katherine Powell: We've got two suicide bombers inside that house but no one wants to take responsibility for pulling the trigger.
Frustrated at the lack of action, Colonel Powell states the situation in a very basic way. They have easy targets that will surely wipe out a bunch of innocent civilians but no one wants to take the risk of killing the targets.
You're Cleared to Engage
Steve Watts: Ma'am?
Colonel Katherine Powell: You are cleared to engage, lieutenant.
Steve Watts: She stopped.
Colonel Katherine Powell: Lieutenant, we have this one opportunity. Let's not lose it.
Steve Watts: Ma'am, um, she's selling bread.
Carrie Gershon: Jesus
Colonel Katherine Powell: Those men are about to disperse. Engage now!
Steve Watts: Ma'am, I understand we have clearance. I have to fire if I see the HVI's moving or when this girl's out of the frag radius but I want to give her a chance to get out of the way.
Colonel Katherine Powell: Lieutenant, you have clearance! There is a lot more at stake than you see here in this image.
Steve Watts: Ma'am, I need you to run the collateral damage estimate again with this girl up front.
Colonel Katherine Powell: This situation has not changed, lieutenant. You are cleared to engage.
Colonel Katherine Powell orders Steve Watts to engage with the target, a home which is confirmed to house three very sought after terrorist targets. Steve, however, refuses the order, or at least tries his best to postpone the strike as to not kill an innocent woman selling bread.
We Need to Put a Hellfire Through That Roof Right Now
Lieutenant General Frank Benson: What's the plan, Katherine?
Colonel Katherine Powell: We need to put a hellfire through that roof right now.
Lieutenant General Frank Benson: I told you, they came to witness a capture not a kill. Give me a capture option.
Colonel Katherine Powell: We no longer have a capture option. Any action on the ground would lead to an armed confrontation which we will not be able to contain.
Lieutenant General Frank Benson: They're watching. Even with the vests, we need their approval for a strike.
Colonel Katherine Powell: Just tell them we've got Danford in our sights. I mean that alone would justify using a hellfire. The vests are just a bonus.
Lieutenant General Frank Benson: Danford's a British citizen. They want her alive. Colonel Katherine Powell: They cannot have her alive. Frank, I've tracked her for six years. This is the closest I've ever got. So, we need to expand our rules of engagement right now to protect the civilian population. A hellfire through that roof is our most-effective option.
Lieutenant General Frank Benson: We have to know that we're legally in the clear.
Colonel Katherine Powell strongly urges Lieutenant General Frank Benson and others to come on board with her to fire upon the building housing the dangerous targets but she gets a great deal of pushback. They were told this would be a capture, not kill, mission and now that the circumstances require a kill, things get complicated.
Obvious to Anyone Not Trying to Avoid Making a Decision
Colonel Katherine Powell: Do we have a CDE yet?
Sergeant Mushtaq Saddiq: Yes. If we target this corner room here, where the explosives are, we would expect a 100% mortality rate in that room, an 80-90% rate within the rest of the house. The market should be safe but this area here, in the street, a 65-75% rate. That's just the hellfire. If we factor in the explosives in the vests, we're looking at more extensive damage, way out to this area here but I can't accurately estimate that yield.
Colonel Katherine Powell: But we would be contained that payload in the vest within those walls, right? Far less damage than them going off in a popular shopping mall.
Sergeant Mushtaq Saddiq: Yes, of course
Colonel Katherine Powell: Thank you, obvious to anyone not trying to avoid making a decision.
Sergeant Mushtaq Saddiq explains the CDE or collateral damage estimate of sending hellfire missiles to a specific building. While to her it makes sense to send in the missiles, to others, the chances of higher collateral damage, including deaths, is too risky.
Be Their Eye in the Sky
Steve Watts: Range 22,000 feet
Colonel Katherine Powell: You have your orders, lieutenant. Your job is to be their eye in the sky.
Steve Watts: Yes, ma'am.
Colonel Katherine Powell: I have to know if Danford is inside and who is with her.
Powell explains to Steve Watts what his role in the mission is. He is tasked with piloting the drone which will watch their targets to give them better intelligence of the situation.
The Capture of Ayesha AL-Hady
Lieutenant General Frank Benson: This is Colonel Powell. She's going to walk you through the capture of Ayesha AL-Hady, AKA Susan Danford.
Colonel Katherine Powell: We have intelligence of a meeting between Danford and numbers four and five on our most wanted list. We believe that they're connected to the recent suicide bombing in Kenya. We have information that they will be in this house today. This is an operation to capture, not kill.
Colonel Katherine Powell briefs the others on the purpose of the mission. They think they've found a high value target, along with two others on the most wanted list, and they have an opportunity to capture all of them while saving the lives of innocent victims in the process.
Win the Propaganda War
George Matherson: If they kill 80 people, we win the propaganda war. If we kill one child, they do.
George Matherson explains how when fighting the propaganda war, it's often unfair. While the enemy can kill dozens, should the good guys kill one child, they instantly lose.
I Am the Pilot in Command
Steve Watts: I am the pilot in command responsible for releasing this weapon. I will fire when this girl is out of the way.
Steve goes against a direct order from the Colonel when he does not fire upon the building due to a girl in the blast radius. As he is the one who controls the weapon, he declares that he will do it when the girl is safely far away.
The New Circumstances
Steve Watts: Weapon is armed. What's that?
George Matherson: Given the new circumstances, I think we should abort.
Jillian Goldman: You have number four and five on the president's kill list in your sights. You are putting the whole mission at risk because of one collateral damage issue.
Team members argue about how to best proceed with the mission. Matherson urges them to abort and spare the child while Goldman pushes them to take out the targets even if that means a girl is killed in the process.
