Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
Cole is sent back in time to save the human race from a deadly virus that has forced mankind into dank underground communities in the future. Along his travels, he encounters a psychiatrist and a mental patient, who may hold the key to the mysterious rogue group, the Army of the 12 Monkeys, thought to be responsible for unleashing the killer disease.
"With a script full of comings and goings, the film bets on time travel and an apocalyptic future to also make a social critique. Highlight for the trio of protagonists - Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt - who manage to deliver an impeccable performance, which even earned Pitt an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe. A dense movie to watch with attention, but rewarding for the viewer."
