In 1996/1997, 5 billion people die from a deadly virus outbreak. The last remaining humans have receded underground for survival.  In this future, prisoners “volunteer” to conduct scientific expeditions and in return prisoners can receive reduced time off their sentences or even pardons. These research expeditions include trips to the surface but also ventures back in time with hopes of locating the origin of the virus and potentially a cure.  Bruce Willis stars as James Cole, one of said prisoners.  The science of time travel is messy and carries unknown (or possibly known) side effects on the traveller. They don’t always send the person to the correct time. The traveller can become disoriented and lose touch with reality. James, in fact, is sent to 1990 instead of just before the viral outbreak in 1996 and winds up in a mental institution where he meets Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt), a meeting which may have some unintended consequences of its own.  As James undertakes more and more time jumps, he begins to lose his grip on reality.  And though he has the knowledge of a calamitous future, he’s burdened with the absolute inability to do anything to change it. 
Terry Gilliam’s brilliant direction brings this grimy and bleak futuristic vision to life. The script smartly written and is incredibly conceived, particularly for a plot that involves time travel. Bruce Willis gives one of the best performances of his career and Brad Pitt gives perhaps his wildest. (Not to mention you get to see both of their bare asses). The film hits even harder now after having lived through a pandemic. James yearning to stay in the pre-pandemic past even if it means he’s mentally insane is, well….relatable. If you’ve somehow never seen this film, I highly recommend. Masterpiece.
