About This Movie

Drone Strike takes a haunting look at the duality of modern warfare through the lens of a family man who operates drones. The film’s pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with the tension as he balances mundane domesticity with life-and-death decisions thousands of miles away. Chris Richmond captures a stark atmosphere, using practical effects to ground the military aspects while the performances add layers of emotional weight. The father’s struggle isn’t just about the job; it’s about the moral implications of distance warfare and how one choice can ripple through lives. It’s not flashy, but it leaves a mark.
