Low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry escapes the monotony of his day-to-day life through a recurring daydream of himself as a virtuous hero saving a beautiful damsel. Investigating a case that led to the wrongful arrest and eventual death of an innocent man instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle, he meets the woman from his daydream, and in trying to help her gets caught in a web of mistaken identities, mindless bureaucracy and lies.

This is such filmmaking perfection, I've seen this so many times (the first time in 1990 through the BBC Moviedrome series), and each time I find something new that I didn't see before. This is both Gilliam's and Pryces' pinnacles of their careers. The sets, costumes, music, story, cinematography, everything is so utterly brilliant. I also love how it's both funny and frightening...
Oh, and what a cast!
