Time Bandits


Watch Trailer
“The film is resolutely, passionately anti-adult, yet much of the humor has an adult sophistication and edge to it; this is one kids’ movie that doesn’t condescend. – David Kehr, Chicago Reader
“A cheerfully irreverent lark — part fairy tale, part science fiction and part comedy. – Vincent Canby, The New York Times

In Terry Gilliam’s 1981 classic, extravagant fantasy, young Kevin is surprised to learn there is a porthole in his wardrobe. One night, time travelers appear and take the boy on a crime spree through history. They meet—and steal from—characters such as King Agamemnon (Sean Connery), Robin Hood (John Cleese), and Napoleon (Ian Holm). This 2K digital restoration was supervised by director Terry Gilliam himself, with a new uncompressed stereo soundtrack.

Avalon joins dozens of venues in the inaugural Art House Theater Day, which celebrates community-based, mission-driven movie theaters dedicated to the best cinematic experience. While supplies last, audience members receive a limited-edition, 14”x18” reproduction of the Time Portal Map used in the film, designed by Terry Gilliam and provided exclusively to Art House Theater Day hosts courtesy of Janus Films.
