Factual error: There is no possible way to cause a power line to drop from its support pylons and hit a person on target. These wires are fastened extremely securely, designed to withstand extremely high tension through all kinds of weather, and they are not equipped with some sort of explosive charges to release them.

Eagle Eye (2008)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: D.J. Caruso
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Rosario Dawson, Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Michael Chiklis
The woman is in fact a sophisticated computer system that has become self aware and has determined that the current President must be eliminated due to the bombing of an innocent funeral at the beginning of the film. The computer's plan is to blow up the State of the Union address using a crystal shaped bomb in a necklace Rachel is wearing, and a sonic trigger hidden in her son's trumpet, whose band is playing the national anthem at said address. Jerry and Morgan figure all this out and try to head to the Capitol to stop this, but a remote operated airplane bombs their car. Morgan crashes his car into the plane, blowing both of them up, and Jerry makes it to the Capitol and fires Morgan's gun, interrupting the national anthem. Jerry is shot by security, but the bomb is successfully thwarted. The computer is shut down by the Secretary of Defense and Jerry is awarded a medal for his troubles. The last scene is Jerry showing up at Rachel's son's birthday party.

Zoe Perez: You don't have a choice. Look. Now, neither of us know if either of those brothers are guilty or innocent, so on behalf of the Secretary of the Air Force, I'm going into that room.
Agent Thomas Morgan: Well, on behalf of all that fucking bomb equipment in junior pinhead's apartment, no, you're not.
Trivia: The voice of ARIIA is actually Julianne Moore who went uncredited for the role.
Question: Why when they showed them being video taped was the date always 1-26-09? Was it supposed to be the future?
