The Men Who Stare at Goats was inspired by Jon Ronson’s non-fiction book of the same name. Although this movie takes a comical look at the idea of using exceptionally gifted humans for war weapons, many fantasy films approached the same premise from a very serious angle, including The X-Men franchise (especially X-Men Origins: Wolverine), The Incredible Hulk and the drama Hearts in Atlantis.
