Time Bandits (1981) Synopsis: In early 1980s England we find Kevin Lotterby, an average 11-year-old boy who is fascinated by history and its legends. Time Bandits 1981 However, his material-obsessed parents could care less and spend their evenings ignoring their son and watching game show programs on TV.
One night, Kevin is made to get to bed early and just as he lies down to sleep an armored knight riding on horseback bursts from his wardrobe. Time Bandits 1981 He then finds himself right smack dab in the middle of a forest clearing. Time Bandits 1981 Just after Kevin gets to his feet, the forest falls away and his normal bedroom has turned back to normal, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Time Bandits 1981 Examining a picture on his wall almost identical to the scene he just witnessed--a knight on horseback in the middle of a forest--it's his father who bursts in through his door this time, complaining about all of the racket Kevin was making and yells at him to get to sleep.
The following evening, Kevin returns to bed equipped with a Polaroid camera and a flashlight, determined to document whatever else might decide to emerge from his wardrobe. Time Bandits 1981 Just as he's given up hope and begins to fall asleep, a group of six strangely dressed dwarfs file out of his closet. Time Bandits 1981 Kevin shines his light at them and they cower, calling him the The Supreme Being. Time Bandits 1981 Soon after discovering his true identity, they gang up on the innocent Kevin, accusing him of things he has no knowledge of. Time Bandits 1981 However, when a frightening head-shaped apparition appears in Kevin's room and demands that they return what they've stolen, the dwarfs switch tactics and begin pushing on Kevin's picture-filled wall. Time Bandits 1981 Nothing happens at first, but then the wall gives way and keeps going; revealing a stretched hallway through which they continue to push the wall. Time Bandits 1981 The Supreme Being still after them, Kevin decides to help the dwarfs. Time Bandits 1981 The wall soon gives way through an opening at the end of the hall and the group plummets into the black space beyond.
Cut to: a bright, blue sky where suddenly a black door-shaped opening forms and Kevin and the dwarfs fall right out of it. Time Bandits 1981 As it turns out, they have used a portal to travel back to 1796 Italy, during the Second Battle of Castiglione, whey they meet Napoleon and proceed to steal his riches, despite Kevin's objections. Time Bandits 1981 They subsequently to the time of Robin Hood, where they are promptly "volunteered" into giving up their plunder to the poor, much to the dwarfs chagrin. Time Bandits 1981 The dwarfs finally explain to Kevin that they work for The Supreme Being, the creator of the Universe, as designers. Time Bandits 1981 Kevin learns that the dwarfs, whom are named Randall (the self-proclaimed leader), Fidgit, Strutter, Og, Wally, and Vermin, were employees of the Supreme Being, the creator of "all the big stuff" in the universe, while it was the regular job of the dwarfs to create small bushes and trees. Time Bandits 1981 After designing a particularly foul-smelling tree, the dwarves were demoted to the job of repairing holes in the space-time fabric. Time Bandits 1981 Instead, however, they spitefully stole the map of the holes' locations, which they are now using to travel around, stealing treasures from across history.
Meanwhile, in secret, this journey is being observed via mystical powers by a malevolent sorcerer, known simply as "the Evil Genius" or "Ultimate Evil", who seeks the map for himself to recreate the universe to his liking. Time Bandits 1981 In the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness, the Evil Genius rants a little about The Supreme Being, saying that slugs are a demonstration of his incompetence. Time Bandits 1981 "What about you?" one of his henchman asks. Time Bandits 1981 "He created you." Evil responds by blowing him up, adding "Don't ever ask me another question like that! No one created me! I am absolute evil! I made myself!" Another henchman pushes his luck, asking, "Then how does he keep you here? How does he keep you trapped in the fortress?" He promptly gets blown up. Time Bandits 1981 "Good question," Evil states. Time Bandits 1981 "If I were creating the world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. Time Bandits 1981 I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One!"
While the dwarfs ponder their next move, Ultimate Evil decides to magically speak through the mouth of one of the more dunderheaded dwarfs in order to convince the rest of them to pursue the resting place of "the most fabulous object in the world." The dwarfs begin to fight amongst themselves for the map until the Supreme Being rematerializes, which leads Kevin to jump through a time-travel portal on his own in escape.
Kevin unintentionally saves the life of King Agamemnon when he falls from a time portal in the sky. Time Bandits 1981 After inadvertently helping Agamemnon slay a vicious minotaur, Kevin is welcomed to Agamemnon's royal court and treated like a son. Time Bandits 1981 Reflecting on his own neglected life and family, Kevin wishes he can stay with the king forever. Time Bandits 1981 Kevin is elated with his new home, capturing scenes during his stay with his Polaroid camera, but this is not to last. Time Bandits 1981 In yet another time-traveling robbery scheme, the dwarfs suddenly appear and manage to steal Agamemnon's riches along with the boy.
After time-traveling to the infamous luxury liner Titanic, the boat begins to sink and the stranded group is forced to search out the most fabulous object in the world which turns out to be the Fortress of Ultimate Evil.
Evil, meanwhile, begins to manipulate the adventure with his magical influence, so that Kevin and the dwarves end up out the freezing waters of the Atlantic Ocean to the ocean of the Time of Legends. Time Bandits 1981 Here, circumstances become even more fantastical. Time Bandits 1981 The group is picked up by a ship containing the Oger Winston and his human wife. Time Bandits 1981 After overpowering Winston and throwing him and his wife overboard, the group takes command of the ship, but they barely escape when their ship is adorning the head of a giant. Time Bandits 1981 After putting the giant to sleep by injecting the stop of his head with sleep potion, the travelers escape and find themselves in a vast desert.
The dwarfs believe an epic treasure, "The Most Fabulous Object in the World," awaits in this time-period within the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness, where Evil himself resides. Time Bandits 1981 Meeting an invisible wall in the middle of the desert, the dwarves begin to fight and dissent from Randall's authority, when they accidentally down the wall by smashing through it like a pane of glass. Time Bandits 1981 They step through the jagged opening to behold Evil's fortress lying ominous on the other side. Time Bandits 1981 Once inside, the dwarves are immediately deceived by Evil's shapeshifting abilities into handing over the map. Time Bandits 1981 Evil imprisons them and Kevin in one of many cages hanging over a bottomless void, but the group undoes the lock and swings from cage to cage until they are back within the fortress hall. Time Bandits 1981 They are able to use a photograph of the map Kevin had taken earlier to identify holes they can use to recruit help and recover the map. Time Bandits 1981 The dwarves begin putting their plan into action.
Kevin is almost left to face the Evil Genius alone when suddenly all kinds of characters from all time periods come to the rescue, among the group several Roman archers, cowboys, a Panzer, knights, and a futuristic soldier, and the dwarfs. Time Bandits 1981 The cowboys attempt to wrangle Evil with their lassos, but he begins to spin and the centrifugal force sends them flying. Time Bandits 1981 Evil's skull opens up and a wicked looking pole extends from it, producing a knife which cuts the ropes which unsuccessfully bound him. Time Bandits 1981 When the archers attempt to skewer them with their well-aimed arrows, Evil essentially turns himself into a pincushion and fires the arrows right back at their sources.
Although the hodge-podge group puts up what could be considered a good effort, all efforts to foil evildoing prove in vain and all certainly seems lost. Time Bandits 1981 But then, out of nowhere, The Supreme Being appears in human form and turns Evil into brittle stone. Time Bandits 1981 While Randall tries to apologize to The Supreme Being for his groups actions, The Supreme Being reveals that everything which had occurred was actually all part of His plan. Time Bandits 1981 He goes onto briefly explain that he let the midgets borrow the map because, as it turns out, Evil was HIS creation after all and the Supreme Being simply wanted to see it put to the test. Time Bandits 1981 Free will is the reason why evil still exists, He explains. Time Bandits 1981 He instructs them to dispose of Evil's crumbling bits and pieces into a Post Box He has provided in order to rid the world of it and warns them not to touch it with their bare hands. Time Bandits 1981 Unbeknownst to them, one chunk is overlooked and slowly begins to fester. Time Bandits 1981 The SB forgives the dwarfs for their insolence, deciding demotion and a pay cut will suffice as a good enough punishment and announces that it is time to go. Time Bandits 1981 Map safely in hand, He and the dwarfs then leave an indignant Kevin behind "to carry on the fight." Soon, however, the festering piece of Evil begins to smolder and in moments Kevin is enveloped in a cloud of thick, strangely colored smoke.
Almost instantaneously, Kevin wakes to find himself back in bed, surrounded now by thick, black smoke. Time Bandits 1981 Firemen burst through his door just in time and rush him from his burning home. Time Bandits 1981 Outside, his parents fight over which kitchen appliances should have been saved from the flames and seem to have no concern for whether Kevin had made it out of the house alive or not. Time Bandits 1981 As Kevin watches the growing flames lick at his home, a familiar looking fireman walks by. Time Bandits 1981 On second look, Kevin recognizes the man as the spitting image of King Agamemnon. Time Bandits 1981 Baffled, wondering if it was all a dream, Kevin checks his pockets for any evidence of his journey and is amazed to find all of the Polaroid snapshots that he took while on his adventures. Time Bandits 1981 Another fireman emerges from the home with a charred toaster oven-type device in hand, declaring that it was the cause of the fire. Time Bandits 1981 His parents open the appliance, revealing the smoking chunk of evil lying inside. Time Bandits 1981 Kevin gasps, realizing it as the source of the fire. Time Bandits 1981 "Mom, Dad!" He warns, "Don't touch it! It's Evil!" But as always, his parents foolishly ignore him and touch it anyway. Time Bandits 1981 They both explode on contact with the rock, leaving almost no trace behind. Time Bandits 1981 King Agamemnon-turned-fireman winks at Kevin and drives away in his fire truck, leaving Kevin alone and bewildered to look back at the smoldering ashes of his home and (late) parents while his nosy neighbors look on.
The camera zooms out from the town, the world, and the galaxy to reveal its location on the Supreme Being's map. Time Bandits 1981 The Supreme Being's hands then roll up the map, ending the film.
