Inspired by the unbelievable-but-true revelations in Jon Ronson's bestselling book, The Men Who Stare At Goats must be seen to be believed and is released on Blu-ray and DVD on 19th April 2010 by Momentum Pictures.

This hilarious comedy features an all-star ensemble cast including George Clooney (Michael Clayton, Burn after Reading), Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting, Star Wars), Kevin Spacey (American Beauty, Se7en) and Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowiski, The Fisher King) and is full of uproarious moments which will have you in stitches. This dark comedy presents a look into the astonishing revelations about a top-secret wing of the U.S. military and offers an eye-opening and hilarious exploration of the government's attempts to harness paranormal abilities to combat its enemies.

Reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) is in search of his next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady (George Clooney), a shadowy figure who claims to be part of an experimental U.S. military unit, the New Earth Army. According to Cassady this unit 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 (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 accompany him on the search. When the pair tracks Django to a clandestine training camp run by renegade psychic Larry Hooper (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. In his major feature directorial debut Grant Heslov, teams again with his writing and producing partner George Clooney with whom he shared Best Original Screenplay and Best Move Oscar nominations for Good Night, and Good Luck to produce a entertaining and utterly original comedy.
