The film was released in regular 35mm theaters and IMAX theaters. The United States armed forces have a lead on a suspected terrorist in Baluchistan but getting a positive identification, before using a drone aircraft to kill him without harming innocent civilians, proves difficult. The Department of... Defense's computer system recommends that the mission be aborted. The Secretary of Defense agrees with the abort recommendation, but the President orders the mission be carried out anyway. When all of the victims turn out to be civilians, the event blows up on them and terrorists carry out retaliatory suicide bombings targeting U.S. citizens. Jerry Shaw is a Stanford University dropout who lacks direction and faces financial difficulty.
