12 Monkeys

1995, Movie, 2h 9min

Terry Gilliam’s grungy, gonzo riff on Chris Marker’s LA JETÉE (with a host of try-and-spot-’em Hitchcock allusions thrown in) stars Bruce Willis as a prisoner in the year 2035 who’s zapped back in time to the 1990s to stop a deadly man-made virus from decimating the world’s population. There’s only one problem: everyone thinks he’s insane.
