Eagle Eye is a dramatic thriller in which a seemingly inoffensive young man named Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) finds that his life has been dangerously hijacked. A female voice (Julianne Moore) is manipulating all of the electronic devices around him, and the mysterious woman throws Jerry together with another hapless victim, a single mother named Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan). Before Jerry meets Rachel, he is arrested by the FBI and interrogated by Agent Thomas Morgan (Billy Bob Thornton), as well as by Air Force Special Agent Zoe Perez (Rosario Dawson). After the voice helps him escape FBI custody, Jerry and Rachel, who is being blackmailed by threats against her son, are led against their will to Washington, D. C to complete a mysterious assignment.
