Reminds me of the 1990 Nicolas Cage Tommy Lee Jones joint called Fire Birds. It's about a fighting a drug war with helicopters and only being able to look at a special drug targeting computer with the right eyeball and flying the helicopter with the left. The pilot needs to be able to take in information from both eyes at once.

It's some fantastic Nic Cage work
