Time Bandits
Terry Gilliam UK 1981 116′ (PG)
English | 35mm transferred to digital video
In this fantastic voyage through time and space from Terry Gilliam, a boy named Kevin escapes his gadget-obsessed parents to join a band of time-traveling dwarfs. Armed with a map stolen from the Supreme Being, they plunder treasure from Napoleon and Agamemnon — but the Evil Genius is watching their every move.
Featuring a darkly playful script by Gilliam and his Monty Python cohort Michael Palin (who also appears in the film alongside Sean Connery, Ian Holm and others), Time Bandits is at once a giddy fairy tale, a revisionist history lesson, and a satire of technology gone awry.
