What happens in Eagle Eye from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Three suspicious vehicles make their way to a village in Baluchistan. The US military is monitoring these vehicles in pursuit of a potentially high-value target, although conclusive identification remains elusive. The operation falls under the watchful eyes of Secretary of Defense Callister, who is directing things from Washington. A drone identifies an audio that has a 37% match to the target’s voice patterns. As the vehicle enters the village, a figure emerges, and the drone captures a photo with a 51% similarity to known data. Despite video feeds revealing that a funeral is occurring, military leaders push for a strike. Callister, however, hesitates due to the anticipated collateral damage and the uncertainty surrounding the target’s identity.
