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.

Looming over New Zealand’s largest city, the Rangitoto Volcano has stood dormant for hundreds and hundreds of years. Now, in the depths of its belly, a dark force has gained power, and is waiting for the moment its muscle is unleashed and the world as we know it will disappear forever.

Two twins have been born with a telepathic gift. Theo and Rachel are ordinary teenagers whose lives are blown apart by the sudden death of their mother. After they are sent to live in Auckland, they explore a creepy old house on the edge of a volcanic lake, and discover shape-shifting creatures lurking beneath the city’s volcanoes. Guided by the mysterious Mr. Jones, the twins must rekindle their unique powers if they are to destroy this ancient evil – and save the human race from extinction.

The movie is based on the book by one of New Zealand's most distinguished novelists Maurice Gee. He was among ten of New Zealand's greatest living artists named as Arts Foundation of New Zealand Icon Artists at a ceremony in 2003. And this fantasy classic has made him the winner of 2004 the Gaelyn Gordon Award for a Much-loved Book. Also, the book was adapted into a TV series in the early 1980s.
