Photo: '12 Monkeys'/Universal Pictures '12 Monkeys' or ‘Twelve Monkeys’ is a dystopian science-fiction film from visionary director Terry Gilliam. It stars Bruce Willis as a man who lives in underground confinement in a pandemic-ridden (sound familiar?) future, and who is sent back in time to prevent the virus from ever happening. The result is a strange, surprisingly internal foray into dreams, madness, and a whole lot else.

It bemoans humanity’s inability to deal with global problems in a sensible, cooperative manner. Everything about the film foregrounds madness and carelessness as our species’ defining features.
