Low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry escapes the monotony of his day-to-day life through a recurring daydream of himself as a virtuous hero saving a beautiful damsel. Investigating a case that led to the wrongful arrest and eventual death of an innocent man instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle, he meets the woman from his daydream, and in trying to help her gets caught in a web of mistaken identities, mindless bureaucracy and lies.

Gilliam’s amazing film about authoritarian bureaucracy. This films dystopian world seems more and more disturbingly plausible each day.

Many things I loved, like the dystopian world-building and social commentary. Didn't love a few plot points, but strange and worth watching.

Incredible depiction of a fictional dystopia. Funny at times but usually the subject matter is so horrific you forget to laugh.

A great film by Terry Gilliam showing an unusual dystopian future. It’s a surreal and confusing world. The movie deserves a re-watch.

Wild and crazy movie. Mix of 1984 & Monty Python. DeNiro plays odd role. J Price a squeamish bureaucrat. Not easy to watch, but fascinating
