SYNOPSIS

Are we in charge of our lives, or are decisions made for us long before we consider them? Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate it? Oscar® winner MATT DAMON (the Bourne series, True Grit) and EMILY BLUNT (The Devil Wears Prada, The Wolfman) star in the romantic thriller The Adjustment Bureau. In the film, Damon plays a man who glimpses the future planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he's ever loved (Blunt) and defy the agents of Fate—a mysterious group of men exerting control over their lives.

On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, charismatic politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful, contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Blunt)—a woman unlike any he's ever known. But just as he realizes he's falling madly in love with her, strangers conspire to keep the two apart. David learns he is up against Fate itself—the men of The Adjustment Bureau—who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from sharing their lives together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept his predetermined path…or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her. Damon and Blunt are joined in the romantic thriller by an all-star cast that includes ANTHONY MACKIE (The Hurt Locker, Eagle Eye) as Harry, the sympathetic Bureau representative assigned to David's case; JOHN SLATTERY (television's Mad Men, Iron Man 2) as Richardson, Harry's agitated and highly driven supervisor; MICHAEL KELLY (Changeling, Dawn of the Dead) as Charlie Traynor, David's campaign manager and lifelong best friend; and TERENCE STAMP (Wanted, Valkyrie) as Thompson, the head Bureau agent who is called in to resolve the Norris problem once and for all.

The Adjustment Bureau is written and directed for the screen by GEORGE NOLFI (writer of Ocean's Twelve, co-writer of The Bourne Ultimatum) and is based upon the short story "Adjustment Team" by PHILIP K. DICK ("Total Recall," "Minority Report" and "Blade Runner"). The accomplished and talented behind-the-scenes crew includes two-time Oscar®-winning director of photography JOHN TOLL (Legends of the Fall, Braveheart), production designer KEVIN THOMPSON (Duplicity, Michael Clayton), editor JAY RABINOWITZ (8 Mile, upcoming The Tree of Life), costume designer KASIA WALICKA MAIMONE (Amelia, Capote), visual effects supervisor MARK RUSSELL (Hellboy, Minority Report) and Grammy-winning composer THOMAS NEWMAN (WALL·E, Revolutionary Road). The Adjustment Bureau is produced by MICHAEL HACKETT (Paycheck), George Nolfi, BILL CARRARO (The Golden Compass) and CHRIS MOORE (Good Will Hunting). The executive producers for the film are ISA DICK HACKETT and JONATHAN GORDON (Good Will Hunting).
