The Men Who Stare at Goats
Adapted from Jon Ronson's best selling book, "The Men Who Stare at Goats" is the new film from the production team behind "Goodnight and Good Luck" and stars Hollywood heavyweights Ewan McGregor ("Trainspotting", "Star Wars"), George Clooney ("Michael Clayton", "Burn After Reading"), Kevin Spacey ("American Beauty", "Se7en") and Jeff Bridges ("The Big Lebowski", "The Fisher King").
A reporter (McGregor) trying to lose himself in the romance of war after his marriage fails, gets more than he bargains for when he meets a special forces agent (Clooney) who reveals the existence of a secret, psychic military unit whose goal is to end the war as we know it.
