The film that established Terry Gilliam as more than just Monty Python’s resident animator, this delightfully inventive children’s fantasy is about young Kevin (Craig Warnock) who finds himself travelling through holes in the space-time continuum in the company of half a dozen fractious dwarfs.
Along the way, he encounters Agamemnon (Sean Connery), Robin Hood (John Cleese), Napoleon (Ian Holm) and winds up as a passenger on the Titanic, although not necessarily in that order. But is this just random entertainment laid on for history fan Kevin’s benefit, or part of a wider struggle between the forces of Good (Ralph Richardson) and Evil (David Warner)?
This is a rare example of an independent British film taking on American blockbusters. Now, it’s a much-loved fantasy classic bursting with inspired images and ideas: Gilliam and co-writer Michael Palin (who also appears) are clearly enjoying themselves as much as their audience.

Time-less Classic
Star studded fantasy for 'all the family' showcases Terry Gilliam's best movie (IMO). Time Bandits hasn't dated at all with great effects, storytelling, acting and humour. Sean Connery, Shelly Duvall, John Cleese, David Warner, Ralph Richardson, Peter Vaughn, Katherine Hellmond, Michael Palin, Ian Holm are all on top form but it's Craig Warnock and the band of small actors who hold the movie together. The film is littered with spectacle but its worth looking out for the small details too, from LEGO brick castles, whittling the rope on a hanging cage to just a couple of threads, or foreshadowing much of the movie in the drawings and pinned up pieces on Kevin's bedroom wall. The 4K release looks and sounds brilliant and features a plethora of inciteful extras with Gilliam, Palin, Warner and others. Nothing new from the previous blu-ray release but Arrow again, fill out this release with quite a lot.
