Academy Award winner Matt Damon and Golden Globe winner Emily Blut star in the heart-pounding thriller The Adjustment Bureau – on DVD and Blu-ray from Universal Studios Home Entertainment June 21st.

A rising politician finds himself caught up in a pulse-pounding, mind-bending conspiracy in The Adjustment Bureau.

Damon (the Bourne series, True Grit) and Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada, The Wolfman) are the star-crossed lovers chased by mysterious forces that threaten to destroy their futures unless they abandon one another.

Written for the screen by George Nolfi (Ocean’s 12, The Bourne Ultimatum) who also makes his directorial debut, The Adjustment Bureau is based on the short story “Adjustment Team,” by visionary writer Philip K. Dick (Total Recall, Minority Report, Blade Runner). The Adjustment Bureau also stars Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker, Eagle Eye), John Slattery (“Mad Men,” Iron Man 2), Michael Kelly (Changeling, Dawn of the Dead) and Terence Stamp (Wanted, Valkyrie).
