Matt Damon stars in a thriller about a rogue US Army officer on a deadly mission in occupied Iraq.

After the fall of Saddam Hussein and the US occupation of Baghdad, Roy Miller (Matt Damon) leads a team hunting for weapons of mass destruction. With his specialised skills and combat experience, Miller is considered the perfect man to carry out the search in this unstable region. But Miller is hampered by faulty intelligence and the nagging suspicion that he is on a futile quest. Liaising with Wall Street reporter Lawrie Dayne (Amy Ryan) and a sympathetic agent named Brown (Brendon Gleeson), he sets out to find the origins of the weapons' main source - a sneaky agent known as Magellan. Keeping a close eye on Miller's movements is government operative Clark Poundstone (Greg Kinnear) whose motives are unclear. But Miller suspects foul play, and soon finds himself caught up in a lethal CIA conspiracy.
