Plot
Co-written by Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin, the wonderfully inventive Time Bandits tells the story of Kevin (Craig Warnock), a young imaginative boy kidnapped by a band of mischievous dwarves who have stolen a map of the universe detailing the locations of holes in the space-time continuum from the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson). The dwarves, with Kevin in tow, set off on a bizarre journey back and forth though time with the intention of looting the fortunes of history's rich and famous. Along the way they meet the likes of King Agamemnon (Sean Connery), Robin Hood (John Cleese) and Napoleon (Ian Holm) among others, and even get to sail on the Titanic moments prior to its unfortunate encounter with an iceberg. Unknowingly, the diminutive bandits are being watched by the spectre of Evil Genius (David Warner), who wants the map for his own typically wicked purposes.
