MGM Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Lions For Lambs on 8th April 2008 priced at $29.98 SRP. Robert Redford, Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep star in this thriller that explores the consequences of taking a stand. An idealistic professor (Redford) in California attempts to inspire a student to do more with his life, while a charismatic Senator (Cruise) in Washington D.C. pitches a new Middle East war strategy to a probing TV journalist (Streep). And halfway across the world, two of the professor’s former students are trapped behind enemy lines in Afghanistan, fighting for freedom—and their very lives. As the tension mounts and the bullets fly, these Americans will change each other’s lives and the world in ways they never could have imagined.

Available in separate widescreen and full screen editions with English DD5.1 Surround audio, extras include commentary by director Robert Redford, “The Making of Lions For Lambs,” “Script To Screen” and “United Artists Legacy” featurettes and the theatrical teaser and trailer.
