This short fiction film focuses on a day in the life of two soldiers operating an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, a missile-laden drone, from a trailer on an military base in Nevada. The pilot is a man in his twenties with aspirations of being a soldier. The bombardier is a woman who has worked her way up the military ladder, and has been in the UAV program for several years. This is their first “journey” together as they explore the strange nature of a job that allows one to “take out” targets on the other side of the globe while sitting at a console in the American Southwest. Their mission involves a targeted assassination over Pakistan, a job that raises important existential questions for this pair of quintessentially modern warriors.
