Factual error: Lt. Harp is told by Capt. Leo that the Lieutenant has 56,000h of UAV flying time, That is ridiculous. Even seasoned pilots of the Military Airlift Command do not have that many hours. Drone pilots can fly up to 1,800 hours a year, and Harp hasn't been flying drones for 31 years straight.
Outside the Wire (2021)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Mikael Hafstrom
Starring: Anthony Mackie, Damson Idris, Emily Beecham
Leo goes rogue - the whole time he was intending to gain control of the nukes for himself and launch a strike on the USA, and by doing so, prevent any use of advanced androids such as himself "for a long, long time". By removing humanity from war, he calculated, global conflict would increase, not decrease, and he wanted to kill millions to save hundreds of millions, drawing a parallel to Harp's actions at the start of the film, killing two soldiers to save 38. Harp insists that humanity can do better, kills Leo and authorises a drone strike on the missile complex. Leo is destroyed, and Harp escapes the blast, heading home wiser.
