IFC Films has
released the U.S. trailer for writer/director Andrew Niccol's (Gattaca, Lord of
War) very timely Good Kill, starring Ethan Hawke as Tom Egan, an Air Force
pilot that fights the Taliban from an air-conditioned bunker in the Nevada
desert. He's a drone pilot, who struggles to come to terms with his actions.
Opening on May 15th,
Good Kill also stars January Jones, Bruce Greenwood, Jake Abel, and Zoe
Kravitz.
In the shadowy world
of drone warfare, combat unfolds like a video game–only with real lives at
stake. After six tours of duty, Air Force pilot Tom Egan (Ethan Hawke) now
fights the Taliban from an air-conditioned bunker in the Nevada desert. But as
he yearns to get back in the cockpit of a real plane and becomes increasingly
troubled by the collateral damage he causes each time he pushes a button,
Egan’s nerves—and his relationship with his wife (Mad Men’s January
Jones)—begin to unravel. Andrew Niccol (Gattaca, Lord of War) directs this
riveting insider’s view of 21st-century warfare, in which operatives fight
unseen enemies from half a world away.
