Short description

Jerry Shaw and Rachel Holloman are two strangers whose lives are suddenly thrown into turmoil by a mysterious woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, the unseen caller uses everyday technology to control their actions and push them into increasing danger. As events escalate, Jerry and Rachel become the country's most-wanted fugitives and must figure out what is happening to them.

What's left behind the scenes

  • "Eagle Eye" (original American title) was based on a story by Steven Spielberg, who was originally intended to direct the film. However, the director became occupied with "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (2008) and handed the reins to Caruso, remaining only as an executive producer.
  • Filming began on November 6, 2007, and was completed in February 2008.
  • When the characters in the film lock themselves in a Pentagon room and turn off all sound-transmitting devices, Aria hears them through the vibrations of coffee on the table. For the liquid to vibrate with such amplitude from sound, people would have to speak with an unrealistically low bass and not just shout, but try to outshout a jet plane taking off!
  • When Jerry finds a weapon in the room, among the passports is a passport of a citizen of the USSR, which doesn't make sense, as this state had long ceased to exist by the time the film takes place.
  • In the film, you can spot a DVD of "Paranoia" (2007), a previous work by Caruso and Shia LaBeouf.
  • When the list of films that Jerry Shaw supposedly bought or rented most often appears, you can notice such films as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004), "Fight Club" (1999), "City of God" (2002), and two films by Stanley Kubrick: "Full Metal Jacket" (1987) and "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968).
  • In the appliance department, where Rachel and Jerry walk, the film "Cloverfield" (2008), released in the spring of the same year, is playing on all the screens.
  • Judging by the name, the explosive "hexamethylene" is ordinary cyclohexane (a harmless liquid, with properties similar to gasoline).
  • 'Eagle Eye' (the original American title) is based on a story by Steven Spielberg, who was originally intended to direct the film. However, the director became occupied with 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' (2008) and handed the helm to Caruso, remaining only as executive producer.
  • A DVD of the movie 'Disturbia' (2007), a previous collaboration between Caruso and Shia LaBeouf, can be seen in the film.
  • When the list of movies that Jerry Shaw either bought or rented most often appears, films such as 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' (2004), 'Fight Club' (1999), 'City of God' (2002), and two Stanley Kubrick films, 'Full Metal Jacket' (1987) and '2001: A Space Odyssey' (1968), can be spotted.
  • In the electronics department where Rachel and Jerry enter, the movie 'Cloverfield' (2008), released in the spring of that same year, is playing on all the screens.
