Prime Video Just Added a ‘90s Sci-Fi Masterpiece (And You Can Stream the Remake Show It Inspired, Too)

The classic 1995 sci-fi thriller 12 Monkeys, starring Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt, became available on Prime Video on March 1st. Directed by Terry Gilliam, the film—which was inspired by the 1962 short film La Jetée—takes place in a future world ravaged by a deadly plague. It follows James Cole, a prisoner sent back in time to investigate the virus’s beginnings, but he quickly finds himself caught in a mind-bending paradox that questions his reality. Widely considered one of the best sci-fi movies of the 1990s, 12 Monkeys was so influential that it led to the creation of the 12 Monkeys TV series on Syfy—all four seasons of which are also now streaming on Prime Video.
