Terry Gilliam`s nightmarish low-tech/high-tech future vision takes place in 1997 after a deadly virus has killed 99% of the human population--forcing the survivors to flee beneath our planet`s surface. This leaves the (other) animals topside to rule the Earth once again. The scientists select James Cole an imprisoned sociopath to return to the past and gather information useful in the defense against this contagion. Once back in time he is to investigate the mysterious `Army of the Twelve Monkeys` and report his findings. Scientific social and political themes like time travel (and its inherent paradoxes and nested loops) mental illness the nature of reality animal rights and the Armageddon-potential of unchecked technological advances are artfully and cleverly explored.
