‚COCKPIT‘ is the story of a squadron of space fighter pilots, stranded in their cockpits deep in enemy space, struggling with reality and delusion as they are hunted by mind controlling aliens. ‚COCKPIT: THE RULE OF ENGAGEMENT‘ is a standalone chapter from the same universe which follows the Carrier Captain (Ronny Cox) who must decide if it is worth risking the security of Earth to save a suffocating pilot who may or may not have been corrupted by the mind controlling aliens.“ (Quelle)
„Cockpit: The Rule of Engagement“ steht in der Tradition der Kriegsfilme, in denen das „Soldatische“ und „Ehrenvolle“ auf einen schäbigen und verachtenswerten Regierungsapparat trifft. Der Feldherr trifft die schwierige Entscheidung und wird mit den Konsequenzen alleine gelassen. Typisch. Bürokratie brachte noch immer das Schlechteste im Menschen hervor. Wenigstens darf hier der Zivilist den entscheidenden Weitblick haben, was während des Filmverlaufs deutlich wird.
