More Detail:
It is the year 2035. Time travel is the norm, and the population is viral-phobic and obsessed with the idea that they can change history. The scientists of the day choose a criminal by the name of James Cole, played by Bruce Willis, to go back to 1996 to find out the source of a deadly virus. James is lured by a promised pardon in exchange for this dubious task. The time machinery is deficient, and James finds himself in the middle of a World War 1. He makes it to 1996 but is taken into a mental institution. There, he meets the Dr. Kathryn Railly who joins him in searching for the source of the miserable virus. James befriends the raving Jeffrey Goines, played by Brad Pitt, who becomes the surprising link in James’ search.
12 MONKEYS is the latest work of famed but controversial director Terry Gilliam. The movie is more bizarre than spell-binding, more visual than coherent. The movie’s backdrop is impressive though not lavish. The best of the movie is the final twist in the last segment of the movie. Otherwise, the end-of-the-world premise is not biblical but seen only from a human experience without religious bearings. Some unnecessary violence and male nudity also mar the movie. The moral of the story is that you cannot change time.
