BBC Two - The Men Who Stare at Goats

Comedy. Reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) thinks he may have a scoop when he learns about the New Earth Army, an experimental US military unit with unparalleled psychic powers.

Comedy. Reporter Bob Wilton is in search of his next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady, a shadowy figure who claims to be part of an experimental US 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 programme's founder, Bill Django, has gone missing and Cassady's mission is to find him.
