| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
In a comedic look at real life events that are almost too
bizarre to believe, a reporter discovers a top-secret wing
of the U.S. military when he accompanies an enigmatic Special
Forces operator on a mind-boggling mission.
Reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) is in search of his next
big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady (Academy Award®
winner George Clooney), a shadowy figure who claims to be
part of an experimental U.S. military unit. According to Cassady,
the New Earth Army is changing the way wars are fought. A
legion of “Warrior Monks” with unparalleled psychic
powers can read the enemy’s thoughts, pass through solid
walls, and even kill a goat simply by staring at it. Now,
the program’s founder, Bill Django (Oscar® nominee
Jeff Bridges), has gone missing and Cassady’s mission
is to find him.
Intrigued by his new acquaintance’s far-fetched stories,
Bob impulsively decides to tag along. When the pair tracks
Django to a clandestine training camp run by renegade psychic
Larry Hooper (two-time Oscar® winner Kevin 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. In order to survive this
wild adventure, Bob will have to outwit an enemy he never
thought possible.
The Men Who Stare at Goats was inspired by Jon Ronson’s
non-fiction bestseller of the same name, an eye-opening and
often hilarious exploration of the government’s attempts
to harness paranormal abilities to combat its enemies.
