EMPIRE ESSAY: Twelve Monkeys Chris Marker's classic French short La Jetee inspires Gilliam

Plot A convict, sent back in time to stop a devastating plague, is sent too far back and is hospitalized as insane. Verdict A curveball of a script, coupled with Willis', Stowe's and Pitt's excellence, not to mention Gilliam's trademark visual flair marks 12 Monkeys as one of the outstanding science fiction films of the 90s.
