"A serendipitous marriage of talent in which all hearts seem to beat as one." Derek Elley, Variety
Down-and-out journalist Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) stumbles over what might just be the biggest story of his life when he meets Lyn Cassady (George Clooney). Cassady claims to be part of a military unit called the First Earth Battalion, a group of super-soldiers trained to don cloaks of invisibility, run through walls and kill goats simply by staring at them. As Bob soon finds out, the battalion has been reactivated for the "war on terror," and so he sets out across the Iraq desert with Cassady in search of the missing founder of the brigade, Bill Django (Jeff Bridges).
One key weapon in their less-than-conventional arsenal: the mysterious "sparkling eyes technique," of which Cassady is especially proud. Scarcely able to believe what he's seeing, Wilton follows Cassady through dangerous terrain as they cross Iraq on a top-secret mission.
