It’s the year 2035. Prisoner James Cole is offered his freedom if he first agrees to participate in a scientific experiment that takes him back in time so that he can gather information about a devastating virus. We then meet Cole, in the year 1990, who is incarcerated in a psychiatric asylum. As Cole plans his escape, he begins to wonder if his mission to the past is not a product of his own delirium. This intense film is inspired by the medium-length cult film, La Jetée by Chris Marker (1962), a science fiction classic.

This film is the last of the Monty Python film series, but it is at the same time a return to the first works, with a narrative structured in a nonlinear way.
