In a bizarre collision of divine inspiration and misguided patriotism, Nicolas Cage stars as Gary Faulkner, a down-on-his-luck handyman who believes God has personally tasked him with a monumental mission: to capture Osama bin Laden. Armed with nothing but unwavering faith, a single sword purchased from a home shopping network, and a complete lack of military training, Gary embarks on a quixotic solo journey from Colorado to Pakistan. His chaotic quest is further complicated by a colorful cast of characters including a skeptical ex-wife (Wendi McLendon-Covey), a baffled therapist (Russell Brand), and various government agents who are less than thrilled with his freelance foreign policy. Directed by Larry Charles, this action-comedy-drama blends absurd humor with unexpected heart as it follows one profoundly ordinary man's attempt to achieve the impossible, proving that sometimes the most dangerous weapon is sheer, unshakeable conviction.
