Alan Rickman's Last Hurrah

Film buffs across the world have been met with some very sad news, after it emerged that legendary British actor Alan Rickman had died at the age of just 69.

The London-born star leaves an undisputed legacy - and that's now set to grow even further with the release of 'Eye in the Sky', his final on-screen role.

Rickman plays Lieutenant General Frank Benson in the British thriller, alongside Helen Mirren and Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul.

The film sees Helen Mirren play Colonel Katherine Powell, a UK-based military officer leading a top-secret drone mission to capture a terrorist cell based in a safe house in Kenya.

The mission objective changes from 'capture' to 'kill', however, when Colonel Powell learns that the group plans to carry out a suicide attack.

But as American drone pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) is about to destroy the safehouse, a nine-year-old girl enters the kill zone.

The film then deals with the resulting moral, political and personal questions that arise, with the resulting international dispute reaching the top levels of US and British government. It's essentially a look at the difficulties and near-impossible decisions that can arise from modern warfare.
