Film Description

Delightful lunacy, with a core of compassionate commonsense, this is Gilliam unfettered by studio interference, and all the better for it. Part fairy tale, part science-fiction, part satire, part bizarre, ingenious retelling of The Wizard of Oz, a boy and six good-natured little persons careen through time-twisting interactions with Napoleon, Robin Hood, and Agamemnon, among others, with a map the little people stole from their employer, the Supreme Being. But their intention is to rob their way through the past, which does not make their boss happy. Meanwhile, Evil is after the map in order to become the Supreme Being himself
