Programme Information
12 Monkeys combines intricate, intelligent storytelling with the uniquely imaginative vision of director Terry Gilliam.
The story begins in a wintry post-apocalyptic wasteland and the year is 2035. An extremely infectious disease have forced society to move underground where they are protected from it.
James Cole (Bruce Willis) is a social outcast and criminal, but has been given the opportunity to clear his name of all criminal activity on one condition, he travel back in time to the 1990's and bring back a concentrated sample of the disease so as to allow the scientists to create a cure.
However when Cole is constantly whiplashed between World War I, 1990, 1996 and 2035 he gets completely caught up between the dangers of the past and the terror of the future and starts questioning his perception on reality. He soon meets Dr. Kathryn Railly (Madeleine Stowe), a psychiatrist who is totally convinced that he has lost his mind, and Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt), a crazy mental patient who has connections with a radical group that may have unleashed the deadly virus already.
Unfortunately, after Kathryn successfully convinces Cole that his story is all an illusion, she comes up with physical evidence that suggests that everything he has said is in fact true after all.
