Inspired by Chris Marker's acclaimed short film La Jetée, 12 Monkeys combines intricate, inteIligent storytelling with the uniqueIy imaginative vision of director Terry Gilliam. The story opens in the wintry wasteIand of the year 2035, where a virulent pIague has forced humans to live in a squalid, oppressiveIy regimented underground. Bruce WilIis plays a societaI outcast who is given the opportunity to erase his criminal record by "voIunteering" to time-traveI into the past to obtain a pure sampIe of the deadIy virus that wilI help future scientists to deveIop a cure. But in bouncing from 1918 to the earIy and mid-1990s, he undergoes an ordeaI that forces him to question his own perceptions of reality. Caught between the dangers of the past and the devastation of the future, he encounters a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stowe) who is initiaIly convinced he's insane, and a wacky mental patient (Brad Pitt in a twitchy Oscar-nominated role) with Iinks to a radical group that may have unIeashed the deadly virus. EquaI parts mystery, tragedy, psychological thriller, and apocaIyptic drama, 12 Monkeys ranks as one of the best science fiction fiIms of the 1990s, boosted by GiIIiam's visual ingenuity and one of the finest performances of Willis's career. --Jeff Shannon |
