Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye is more of a story about Jerry, a young man, along with Rachel whom he strangely met, and their adventures as they were brought together and chased by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move. The woman was actually an artificial intelligence computer in Pentagon who wants to eliminate the President and its cabinet to pursue her other plans.

She is a top secret supercomputer, called "Autonomous Reconnaissance Intelligence Integration Analyst" (ARIIA) tasked with gathering intelligence from all over the world.
ARIIA is housed in Pentagon, and Jerry learned that his late twin brother, Ethan, worked as a technician for the computer and locked it down to prevent ARIIA from carrying out her plan. Jerry and Rachel arrive at the Pentagon and are led to the supercomputer, where ARIIA forces Jerry to impersonate Ethan and use his own biometrics to override the lockdown, allowing her to go ahead with the plan but couldn't go with it. She was threatened that her son who is in his way to play in a band recital during the President's speech be killed. ARIIA had coerced some agents to make an explosive device into a necklace of which its sound-based trigger is put inside Sam's trumpet.

The movie actually gave us a significant lesson of how technology that is developed by mankind to give us security and convenience can be threats to our own safety. The supercomputer ARIIA made a lot of chaos by remotely controlling any networked device and with the technology we have right now, there are a thousand chances that supercomputer machines like that that is housed in Pentagon will be used with us in our everyday work. So it is just necessary for humans to not depend everything on computers especially if they can control other computers because they can impose danger to human life.
