Oscar winners Matt Damon (The Departed, The Bourne Supremacy), Angelina Jolie (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Girl Interrupted) and Robert De Niro (Raging Bull, Meet the Fockers) star in the edge-of-your-seat thriller The Good Shepherd - coming to DVD on April 3rd, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment for the suggested retail price of $29.98. The film will also be available on HD-DVD Combo Disc for the suggested retail price of $39.98.

A tale of secrets, deception and murder played out at the height of the Cold War, The Good Shepherd is a gripping film that reveals the untold story of the birth of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The unparalleled, star-studded supporting cast boasts Oscar winners William Hurt, Joe Pesci and Timothy Hutton as well as Alec Baldwin, Billy Crudup, John Turturro and Sir Michael Gambon. Tautly directed by De Niro from a script by Academy Award-winning writer Eric Roth (Forrest Gump), The Good Shepherd takes audiences deep into the dark world of international intelligence and espionage.

In The Good Shepherd, Matt Damon delivers an unforgettably powerful performance as Edward Wilson, a man whose loyalty to his country compromises his commitment to everything else, including his wife, Clover (Angelina Jolie) and son Edward, Jr. (Eddie Redmayne). After being recruited to work for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) by General Sullivan (Robert De Niro) during WWII, Wilson goes on to become one of the founding operatives of the CIA. Enmeshed in a secret world of deception and murder, and locked into a brutal battle of wits with his Soviet counterpart, Wilson's dedication to his job and youthful idealism are slowly eroded by his growing suspicion of the people around him. The Good Shepherd DVD will come with 15 minutes of deleted scenes.Here is a look at some production stills from The Good Shepherd:

The Good Shepherd is now available for pre-order at Amazon. As of yet, there is not a release date for the UK. Visit the DVD database for more information.
