The American journalist Bob (Ewan McGregor) was deprived of his wife by the boss steel hand and came to Kuwait in despair. His only idea was to enter Iraq, find valuable news and regain the self-esteem of the man lost in front of his wife. In Kuwait, bob ran into lyn (George Clooney). After seeing bob's doodles, the latter agreed to take him across the border. Lyn used to be a special force of the U.S. Army. He tried to find the enemy, control the enemy, and conquer the enemy without relying on weapons, but only by his own mental will and mental superpowers. He was called the "Jedi Warrior." The two people’s trip to Iraq is thrilling, with frequent jokes, bizarre car accidents in the open desert, fighting with the will of the gangsters, funny and unexpected fights at the gas station, facing the loss of a fork in the desert, already facing the Vietnam War veteran bill in the process. The special training of lyn, the harmonious coexistence with nature, and the memory of enhancing mental ability, all make people laugh. (According to the movie, super-power warfare is indeed true in the US military)

-"Whatever you fear most has no power over you. It is the fear that has the power."

Maybe, you will laugh at them as crazy, they can be stupid. , Trying to disperse the cloud in the sky with their eyes, firmly believing that they can pass through the wall, they have dreams and ideals, they insist almost paranoidly, foolish people who do not understand current affairs are handsome, just like Don Jike Fighting with windmills like Germany, only hope that the war will no longer be cruel bloodshed and killing, not hurt the other party, can conquer the other party, how harmonious the world is, revolutionary romanticism, never give up, never waver, even if this is just their beauty And cute fantasy, they are brave and firm, overcome fear and witness their destiny. However, the addition of Larry, a true cold-blooded soldier, changed everything. Lyn passively stared at the goat and stopped his heart from beating. The idealistic man became a tool of killing, and he finally retired from the army unwillingly. At the end of the movie, when the "normal" warriors ate eggs mixed with psychedelics and drank psychedelic water, they all happily "romantic". The true romantics, The devastated prisoners of war and the goats were liberated one by one, and they struggled to practice the idealistic romantic feelings in their hearts.

The ending of the movie did not give a result. The romantic helicopter flew falteringly in the fog, and the violent methods of human settlement of disputes continued. From doubtful to firm belief, Bob also tried his mind and tried to penetrate the wall. Is he able to succeed?

-"Then, one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you."

Do you insist on your ideals? Do you believe in miracles? Are you looking for the superpower to hold on to your faith? What is your choice? Maybe you can at least be like Lyn, using your mind and eyes to control the opponent while throwing him down, and then proudly said: Look, I didn't move, so I subdued him. Wandering on the edge of reality and dreams gives me the opportunity to continue to survive and the right to pursue my dreams.

-"Your life is like a river. If you're aiming for a goal that isn't your destiny, you will always be swimming against the current. Young Gandhi wants to be a stock car racer? Not gonna happen. Little Anne Frank wants to be a high school teacher? Tough Anne. That's not your destiny. But you will go on to move the hearts and minds of millions. Find out what your destiny is and the river will carry you. Sometimes events in life give an individual clues as to where their destiny lies."
