Time Bandits

Join us in celebrating the 45th anniversary of Friends of The Ross with special screenings of movies released in 1981! In this fantastic voyage through time and space from Terry Gilliam, a boy named Kevin (Craig Warnock) escapes his gadget-obsessed parents to join a band of time-traveling dwarfs. Armed with a map stolen from the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson), they plunder treasure from Napoleon (Ian Holm) and Agamemnon (Sean Connery)-but the Evil Genius (David Warner) is watching their every move. Featuring a darkly playful script by Gilliam and his Monty Python cohort Michael Palin (who also appears in the film), Time Bandits is at once a giddy fairy tale, a revisionist history lesson, and a satire of technology gone awry.

Admission for FRIENDS 45 screenings is FREE for current Friends of The Ross members, $10 for general admission, and $5 for UNL students. Visit theross.org for tickets, show times, and more information.
