BROTHERS tells the powerful story of two
siblings, thirty-something Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and
younger brother Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal), who are polar opposites.
A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast
family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace
(Natalie Portman), with whom he has two young daughters. Tommy, his
charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s
always gotten by on wit and charm. When his Black Hawk helicopter is
shot down in the mountains Sam is presumed dead and the Cahill family
suddenly faces a shocking void. Tommy tries to fill in for his brother
by assuming newfound responsibility for himself, Grace, and the
children. In the grief and strangeness of their new lives, Grace and
Tommy are naturally drawn together. Their longstanding frostiness
dissolves, but both are frightened and ashamed of the mutual attraction
that has replaced it.
But Sam is not dead; he and a fellow soldier have been captured by
Taliban fighters. In Afghanistan’s harsh, remote Pamir Mountains, Sam
is subjected to traumas that threaten to rob him of his very humanity.
At the same time that Sam’s sense of self is being destroyed overseas,
Tommy’s self-image is strengthening at home.
When Sam unexpectedly returns to the States, a nervous mood settles over
the family. Sam, uncharacteristically withdrawn and volatile, grows
suspicious of his brother and his wife. Their familiar roles now nearly
reversed, Sam and Tommy end up facing the ultimate physical and mental
challenge when they confront each other. In the shifting family
dynamics, who will dominate? Directed by six-time Oscar® nominee Jim
Sheridan (IN AMERICA, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER), BROTHERS tells the
compelling tale of how two brothers come to terms with issues of love,
loyalty, and manhood—and with the woman caught between them.

Reporter Bob Wilton is in search of his
next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady, a shadowy figure who
claims to be part of an experimental U.S. military unit. According to
Cassady, the New Earth Army is changing the way wars are fought. A
legion of "Warrior Monks" with unparalleled psychic powers can
read the enemy's thoughts, pass through solid walls, and even kill a
goat simply by staring at it.
Now, the program's founder, Bill Django, has gone missing and Cassady's
mission is to find him. Intrigued by his new acquaintance's far-fetched
stories, Bob impulsively decides to tag along. When the pair tracks
Django to a clandestine training camp run by renegade psychic Larry
Hooper, the reporter is trapped in the middle of a grudge match between
the forces of Django's New Earth Army and Hooper's personal militia of
super soldiers. In order to survive this wild adventure, Bob will have
to outwit an enemy he never thought possible.
