Plot
Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) is a Stanford University dropout who
learns that his identical twin brother Ethan, a United States Air Force
first lieutenant, has been killed. Following the funeral, Jerry is
surprised to find $750,000 in his bank account. Returning home, he finds
his apartment filled with weapons, ammonium nitrate, classified DOD
documents, and forged passports. He receives a phone call from an
unknown woman who says the FBI will apprehend him and that he must
escape.
Disbelieving, Jerry is caught by the FBI and interrogated
by Supervising Agent Tom Morgan (Billy Bob Thornton). While Morgan is
conferring with Air Force OSI Special Agent Zoe Pérez (Rosario Dawson),
the unknown woman arranges for Jerry's escape and directs him to single
mother Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan). The unknown woman is
coercing Rachel by threatening her son Sam (Cameron Boyce), who is en
route to the Kennedy Center with his school band. The unknown woman
helps the two avoid Chicago police and FBI units, demonstrating an
ability to control networked devices, including traffic lights, mobile
phones, automated cranes, and even electrical wires.
Meanwhile,
the unknown woman redirects a powerful DOD crystalline explosive
(hexamethylene) to a gemcutter who cuts and fits it to a necklace.
Another man (Anthony Azizi) is manipulated into stealing Sam's trumpet
from Chicago and fitting the crystal's sonic trigger into the piping
before forwarding it to Sam in Washington, D.C..
Agent Perez is
summoned by Secretary of Defense George Callister (Michael Chiklis) to
be read into Ethan's job at the Pentagon. Ethan monitored the DOD's top
secret intelligence-gathering supercomputer, the Autonomous
Reconnaissance Intelligence Integration Analyst (ARIIA; voiced by
Julianne Moore). Callister leaves Perez with Major William Bowman
(Anthony Mackie) and ARIIA to sort out the Ethan Shaw investigation.
Simultaneously, Rachel and Jerry learn that their mysterious woman is
ARIIA, and she has "activated" them under the Constitution's
authorization to recruit civilians for the national defense.
Perez
and Bowman find evidence Ethan Shaw hid in Sari's chamber the night he
died. After they leave to debrief Secretary Callister, ARIIA smuggles
Jerry and Rachel into the her observation theater under the Pentagon.
Both groups learn that after her recommendation was ignored and a
botched operation in Balochistan resulted in the deaths of American
citizens, ARIIA concluded that "to prevent more bloodshed, the executive
branch must be removed." Acting on behalf of "We the People", and
citing the Declaration of Independence ("whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to
alter or to abolish it"), ARIAA acted in compliance with Section 216 of
the Patriot Act which "allows us to circumvent probable cause in the
face of a national security threat, in this case, the chain of command
itself."
Too late realized, Jerry has been brought by ARIIA to
circumvent biometric locks his twin placed to prevent the system from
realizing Operation Guillotine, a military simulation of how to keep the
government running with the loss of all presidential successors.
Because of Secretary Callister's concurrence with ARIIA's abort
recommendation regarding Balochistan, he has been chosen as the
designated survivor after the hexamethylene detonates at the State of
the Union address (SOTU).
One of ARIIA's agents (Nick Searcy)
extracts Rachel from the Pentagon and gives her appropriate attire and
the hexamethylene necklace to wear to the SOTU. Sam's school band has
also been redirected to the United States Capitol to play for the
president, bringing both the trigger in Sam's trumpet and the crystal
explosive together. Jerry was left behind at the Pentagon and recaptured
by Agent Morgan, who has become convinced of Jerry's innocence. Though
Morgan sacrifices himself to stop a MQ-9 Reaper sent by ARIIA, he first
gives Jerry his weapon and ID with which to gain entrance to the
Capitol. Arriving too late, Jerry fires the handgun in the air to
disrupt the concert before being shot by the Secret Service.
Days
later, Secretary Callister reports that ARIIA has been decommissioned
and that he recommends against building another; the Shaw twins, and
Agents Perez and Morgan receive awards for their actions; and in the
final scene, Jerry attends Sam's birthday party, earning thanks and a
kiss from Rachel.

"Eagle Eye"
The story is all about the Secretary of Defense of the US Government, to protect the United States of America for terrorist attack or any crime in their country. As what I have seen in this movie even though I or we did not done watching, in doing or making a very powerful supercomputer that can initiate any devices like cellphone. It is an ARIAA supercomputer that was made by programmers and Ethan, Jerry's brother worked as a technician for the supercomputers. In making an (AI) robot is a hard task, we don't know what is the disadvantages but were just doing this for some reasons like protecting from terrorist attack. My reaction is that we should limit the intelligence of a robot to be aware of malfunctions, instead of we people are users, we are being used by ARIAA supercomputer if it is being invented that kind of technology nowadays. The ARIAA supercomputer has a plan that whenever there is a threat to the public good it must be eliminate, so the robot plans to destroy the president's cabinet and call this operation Guillotine.
