Eagle Eye




The movie Eagle Eye is about a young man, Jerry, who is a drop out and has no ambisions in life compared to his twin brother, Ethan, who was an Air Force lieutenant. After attended the funeral for Ethan, Jerry goes to deposit a check at the atm. Once he starts to receive money it doesnt stop. He returns to his apartment to find various illegal weapons and such that do not belong to him. When he is looking through all of the boxes, a women calls. The voice sounds like a machine, and this voice tells Jerry that the FBI will be there in 30 seconds and must run. Unfortunately the FBI catches him and questions him on why he had all of these things. He had been set up by a super computer that had found herself in control of anything without anyone knowing, (the voice that called Jerry) Through out the movie he meets with another women who was set up and the supercomputer threats to kill her son.

The Super-computer (ARIIA) who is housed at the pentagon had control over every electronic device on the earth. She trys to eliminate the president of the United States and the Presidential staff . The way she attemps to do this is with the women Jerry has been traveling with's son. He is a part of this school band and there had been a bomb placed into his trumpet. As an honor the band goes to play the national anthem at the Presidents speech in the capital building. If his trumpet hits the high "F", the bomb would explode and destroy every living body in the building or surrounding area.

The Super computer is the high country, in this case, for imperialism. She takes control over the powers of a weaker country, which is humankind itself. During the movie she communicates through a cell phone. When the people she has chosen specifically answer they must do what she says, when she says it. If you disobey you get punished. This is an example of imperialism because she is using her greatest power to oppress the humans. She thinks she is doing it for the best, but in reality she wants what she wants, will kill anyone in the way, and using anyone to complete the job.
