Army of One

2016 · 93 min

A goofy, offbeat ride that treats delusion with affection, making you chuckle at the absurdity while never quite taking the quest seriously.

Tagline: One Man's Wildly True Quest To Capture Osama Bin Laden
Overview: Gary Faulkner is an ex-con, unemployed handyman, and modern day Don Quixote who receives a vision from God telling him to capture Osama Bin Laden. Armed with only a single sword purchased from a home-shopping network, Gary travels to Pakistan to complete his mission. While on his quest, Gary encounters old friends back home in Colorado, the new friends he makes in Pakistan, the enemies he makes at the CIA - and even God and Osama themselves.
