Where to watch the ’12 Monkeys’ (1995) film?

Here's where you can watch Terry Gilliam's masterpiece.

12 Monkeys was a surprise hit when it released in 1995. Starring an absolutely stacked cast and seeing a truly brilliant director at the helm, it has spawned a spin-off series. Not just a spin-off, but is also speculated to be part of a greater trilogy by director Terry Gilliam.

Starring Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, Christopher Plummer, and Madeleine Stowe, it netted an Academy Award nomination for Pitt. Gilliam’s film is actually a remake of the avant garde French feature La Jetée. The film follows a virus outbreak in the year 1996, and an elaborate time travel heist to make a cure.

Things do not go the plan in the slightest, with Willis’s character Cole sent back to the wrong year and subsequently sent to a mental asylum for his outlandish beliefs. Essentially, this is a film destined to a remake in the next fifty years chronicling the COVID pandemic.
