Synopsis: Helen Mirren is Colonel Katherine Powell, a U.K.-based military officer in command of a top secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. Through remote surveillance and on-the-ground intel, 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 9-year-old girl enters the kill zone, triggering an international dispute, reaching the highest levels of U.S. and British government, over the moral, political and personal implications of modern warfare.
