    "12 Monkeys" is based on the film "La Jetee," where between the past and the future lies the mystery of the Twelve Monkeys. The year is 2035 and humankind subsists under the Earth's surface in a desolate netherworld following an airborne viral holocaust. Desperately, scientists time shuttle convict James Cole (Willis) to the past in hopes of discovering a means of saving the future. When Cole arrives in 1996, his tale of global annihilation deems him mad and he is placed in an asylum where he meets Jeffrey Goines (Pitt), the delusional son of a renowned scientist. Cole is treated by Dr. Kathryn Railly (Stowe), a psychiatrist who comes to believe him. Their only clue to the mystery of the virus is a series of puzzling symbols from a group known only as the Army Of The Twelve Monkeys. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Special features are the same as found on the standard-definition disc and include: commentary with Director Terry Gillam and Producer Charles Roven, Louis Pepe's original documentary "The Hamster Factor And Other Tales Of Twelve Monkeys," the theatrical trailer, and archives.

    Reason #96 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I enjoy reading WSR because it is much more informative than the run of the mill A/V mags. The articles on cutting edge equipment are excellent. I enjoy the home theatre set-up articles. The movie reviews are first rate. Keep up the great work.
