In the year 2035, convict James Cole reluctantly volunteers to be sent back in time to discover the origin of a deadly virus that wiped out nearly all of the earth's population and forced the survivors into underground communities. But when Cole is mistakenly sent to 1990 instead of 1996, he's arrested and locked up in a mental hospital. There he meets psychiatrist Dr. Kathryn Railly, and patient Jeffrey Goines, the son of a famous virus expert, who may hold the key to the mysterious rogue group, the Army of the 12 Monkeys, thought to be responsible for unleashing the killer disease.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Really good apocalyptic science fiction. Has a great plot, with twists and turns so good that it benefits from multiple viewings. Both Willis and Pitt are great in it. Pitt actually turns in perhaps one of his most memorable roles in this, in my opinion! It's sort of a remake of an experimental b&w short french film made almost entirely of still photos in 1962, called "La Jetée" if you can, check that out too!

True masterpiece and very enjoyable. The idea of the virus destroying everything and having to send a man back in the past is just brilliant. Only thing that bugged me is that we didn't have much info about the backstories of the twelve monkeys or the virus.

In a futuristic world where most of the human race has gone extinct as a result of a purposely released virus, convict James is sent into the past, numerous times, in a desperate attempt to discover the author and try to develop a cure. Bruce Willis' character, with his time travels, seems to become more and more confused about which is the present or which is reality, beginning to doubt his mental condition. At the same time, he must focus on the mission he has been assigned, fact which will prove to be more problematic than expected, as he is easily stolen by the beauty of nature, as he's never seen it before. Add a female psychiatrist to the equation and you'll get a very complex and tangled storyline in which James struggles to find his place.Although I enjoyed its plot, I feel that James is being dragged away from one place to another, always being the wrong man at the wrong time, always suffering or being injured and thus, being unable to do more to defend the beloved or to advance into his investigation. Although unexpected and unpredictable as the entire movie, I was somehow disappointed by its finale, which doesn't do anything to bring the slightest change to the apocalyptic situation.
