EAGLE EYE   

Jerry Shaw attends the funeral of his twin brother Ethan, an Air Force officer on January 25, 2009 [10:36 to 38:00]. Afterwards he finds $750,000 in his bank account, guns and classified documents in his apartment. In spite of a warning call from a woman to run, he is arrested by the FBI. The woman on the phone arranges for his escape and directs him to Rachel Holloman, who she controls by threatening her son, Sam, who is on the way to Washington, DC to  play at the State of the Union. The woman arranges for a powerful crystal explosive to be placed in a necklace and has a sonic trigger placed in Sam’s trumpet.  Ethan’s job was to monitor ARIIA, an advanced supercomputer and Jerry and Rachel learn that the woman’s voice directing them is that of ARIIA. After the President ignored ARIIA’s advice in an operation, ARIAA decides to remove the executive branch down to Defense Secretary Callister, who agreed with ARIIA. Jerry was recruited by ARIIA because as Ethan’s twin he can override biometric locks set by Ethan and activate the plan. Rachel is given the necklace to wear at the speech and her son will be there to trigger the explosion that will wipe out the leadership. However, Jerry with the help of two FBI agents who now believe he is innocent help him to stop the plan and shut down ARIIA.
