7.2 / 10 · TMDB

The accountants of the dreary Crimson Permanent Assurance have had enough of their young masters' tyranny. Led by their most senior clerk, they stage a daring mutiny, severing their massive office building from its foundations. Wielding stationery scissors as grappling hooks and calculators as weapons, they transform the concrete edifice into a pirate galleon. Their mission is to sail into the open seas of the financial district, declaring war on the modern corporate privateers. They set their course for a showdown with the sleek, high-tech conglomerates, aiming to reclaim a sense of adventure from a sanitized world of business.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Terry Gilliam crafts a rebellious fable where the metaphor of office drudgery is made grotesquely literal. It's the ultimate desk-jockey fantasy, filmed with the signature visual madness and dark wit of the Python universe.

What lingers after the credits is the glorious absurdity of paper-clip anchors and filing-cabinet sails. It’s a short, sharp shock to the corporate system. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Terry Gilliam

Best Watched

The rebellious spirit of the old guard, steeped in inkwells and filing-dust.
