The Men Who Stare at Goats; Arrives



Reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) is looking for his next big story when he meets Lyn Cassady (George Clooney), a special forces agent who claims to be a part of New Earth Army, a classified government program whose goal is to use paranormal powers to end war.

Determined to prove the truth of Cassady's claim, he joins the military man in his mission to find the program's founder Bill Django (Jeff Bridges). When the pair tracks Django to a clandestine training camp run by renegade psychic Larry Hooper (Kevin 'spaced-out' Spacey), the reporter is trapped in the middle of a grudge match between the forces of Django's New Earth Army and Hooper's personal militia of super soldiers.

To survive in this wild adventure, Wilton will have to outwit an enemy he never thought possible. Presenting a quirky and dark comedy, "The Men Who Stare at Goats" is based on true events recounted in Jon Ronson's book.

How bad can it be?
