Twelve Monkeys
1995

A convict is sent from the future to gather information about an epidemic that strikes in 1996. He appears to wake up in alternating time periods throughout the film. Terry Gilliam’s nightmarish tale questions the nature of reality, time, cause, and effect. The film was inspired by La Jetée (1962), in which the time traveler is plagued by a dream-like memory.
