Eye in the Sky
A British drone commander races to eliminate a terror cell planning a suicide bombing, but when a young girl wanders into the strike zone, she must decide whether to authorize a lethal hit that could end countless lives—or risk another massacre and ignite an international crisis.
“Welcome to the new front line”
Synopsis
A UK-based military officer leading a top-secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya learns that the targets are planning a suicide bombing, prompting the mission to shift from "capture" to "kill." As American pilot Steve Watts prepares to carry out the strike, a nine-year-old girl enters the kill zone, sparking an international controversy that escalates to the highest levels of the US and British governments, raising moral, political, and personal questions about the realities of modern warfare.

A crew of 84+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.4× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
