12 Monkeys

"12 Monkeys" is a science fiction film about a future where a deadly virus has wiped out most of humanity, forcing survivors to live underground. A convict named James Cole is sent back in time to gather information about the virus’s origins, hoping to prevent the catastrophe. However, the story explores complex themes like memory, perception, and the nature of reality, often blurring lines between truth and illusion. The film uses time travel as a device to examine how past actions influence the future, and questions whether change is possible or if fate is predetermined.
