With warmer weather and more sunlight, it’s time to get together to watch a sci-fi movie. In June, we will be meeting to watch *The Adjustment Bureau*.
“The Adjustment Bureau” is a 2011 American science fiction romantic thriller film directed and co-produced by George Nolfi. The screenplay by Nolfi is loosely based on Philip K. Dick’s 1954 short story [“Adjustment Team”](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Adjustment_Team.djvu).
Imagine a world where unseen forces control your fate, ensuring you follow a predetermined path. Rising politician **David Norris** (Matt Damon) has his future meticulously planned—until he meets **Elise Sellas** (Emily Blunt), a captivating dancer who makes him question everything. But their love is forbidden by mysterious agents who manipulate reality itself.
As David fights against destiny, he uncovers a secret organization pulling the strings behind every major decision. Can he defy fate and rewrite his own story, or will the Bureau erase his chance at happiness?
A thrilling blend of **romance, sci-fi, and suspense**, this film will leave you questioning the nature of free will. Gather your friends and dive into this mind-bending journey—because sometimes, love is worth fighting for.
Come join us to watch this movie together. We’ll have snacks and drinks.
We encourage you to read, Dick’s short story, [“Adjustment Team”](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Adjustment_Team.djvu) before coming to the movie so we can discuss the differences between the two.
