What the Movie's About: The tempestuous early days of the CIA unfold through the eyes of Edward Wilson (Damon), an Agency founder and Cold War operative.

Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie in The Good Shepherd

'Good' Times: The Cold War -- a period in history marked by paranoia and the constant dread of nuclear war -- gave birth to the CIA, an agency wrought by men willing to sacrifice their very souls for America. In Matt Damon's case, it also means jeopardizing his marriage to Angelina Jolie. Now that's a patriot.
'Shepherd' Flock: Robert De Niro's first directorial effort since 1993's 'A Bronx Tale' boasts a star-studded ensemble that includes Damon, Jolie, Alec Baldwin, William Hurt, Billy Crudup, John Turturro and -- last but not least -- De Niro himself. Will you flock to the theater to see 'The Good Shepherd'?


      Very 'Good' Stuff

      Angelina Jolie in The Good Shepherd

      It takes quite a woman to marry a CIA heavy hitter like the guy Matt Damon portrays. Luckily, Angelina Jolie never lets "The Man" or any man get her down. See 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' and 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' for examples. Note to Matt Damon: Be good to Angie ... or else.
