Two-time Academy Award® -winner Robert De Niro (Wag the Dog, 15 Minutes) stars in the charged drama The Bridge of San Luis Rey, available on DVD on October 11, 2005, from New Line Home Entertainment. The film, based on the classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Thorton Wilder, also stars Academy Award® -winner Kathy Bates ** (About Schmidt, Misery), Harvey Keitel (The Piano, Pulp Fiction) and Gabriel Byrne (Enemy of the State, Vanity Fair) as they search for the divine reason behind the accidental deaths of five seemingly innocent people.

Set in Peru during the 18th century, five people, on separate journeys for different reasons, cross the bridge at San Luis Rey by happenstance at the same time on the fateful day of July 20, 1714. When the bridge collapses, all five plunge to their deaths in the deep gorge below. After their burial, Brother Jupiter (Bryne) embarks on a controversial study to determine the connections between those lost in the catastrophe. Along with The Inquisition, presided over by The Archbishop of Lima (De Niro), they work to establish a theory in memoriam of the victims and unravel the mystery of the bridge and the ties that bind its victims.
