Twelve Monkeys is a 1995 science fiction film written by David and Janet Peoples and directed by Terry Gilliam. The movie deals with time travel and memory and is inspired by the French short film La Jetée. The film stars Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, and Brad Pitt.

Bruce Willis stars as James Cole, a criminal in 2035 plagued by dreams of a man being shot in an airport. Humans are forced to live underground, sealed from a surface contaminated with a virus that killed most of the human species in 1996–1997. The disease is believed to have arisen as an act of bioterrorism by a mysterious group calling itself "The Army of the Twelve Monkeys."

The movie has an unusual narrative style. Stowe plays a skilled psychiatrist and Pitt, in an Oscar-nominated performance, plays Jeffrey Goines, a very mentally unstable man who crosses paths with Cole on several occasions.

What do you guys think of this movie?

It's a great movie that is a little hard to follow. That can probably be attributed to it's narrative style, which most films are not done in. At the end of the movie the plot all becomes clear.
