Following the commercial and critical success of The Fisher King, Terry Gilliam next feature would turn to science fiction and a screenplay by Janet and David Peoples (Blade Runner, Unforgiven) inspired by Chris Marker's classic short film La Jetée. In 1996, a deadly virus is unleashed by a group calling themselves the Army of the Twelve Monkeys, destroying much of the world's population and forcing survivors underground. In 2035, prisoner James Cole (Bruce Willis, Die Hard) is chosen to go back in time and help scientists in their search for a cure. Featuring an Oscar-nominated turn by Brad Pitt (Fight Club) as mental patient Jeffrey Goines, Twelve Monkeys would become Gilliam's most successful film and is now widely regarded as a sci-fi classic. Arrow Films are proud to present the film in a stunning new restoration.

Press Quotes

Arrow has once again stepped up to the plate and provided a release with solid technical merits and some appealing supplements. Highly recommended.

     —Blu-ray.com

Arrow Video's new Blu-ray looks (and sounds) great. New to Arrow's edition is a Q&A with Gilliam about the film recorded during the late '90s, as well as a video appreciation by Gilliam historian Ian Christie. If you're a Twelve Monkeys fan, this is the best incarnation of the movie out there.

     —Under the Radar

12 Monkeys is another of Terry Gilliam's masterworks, but it's also his most accessible film when it comes to audiences. Arrow Video's treatment of the title proves that even though the film has had multiple releases, a really good one was always around the corner. Highly recommended.
