SYNOPSIS:
Kevin (Craig Warnock) a bookish, history buff kinda boy who is saddled with ultra-materialistic suburban parents, has a problem: Strange things come out of his wardrobe at night. The strangest is the Time Bandits - six dwarves who used to work in the Almighty's Tree and Shrub Division, but have now gone freelance. You see, the Creation was a rush job, being accomplished in only six days, and there are holes in time and space. Finding a map to these holes, the Bandits deserted their post with the goal of visiting the richest figures in history and robbing them blind. Major Problem: not only does the Almighty want the map back, but it is also sought by the Personification of Pure Evil (David Warner), both of which are in pursuit of Kevin and his new.... um.... friends.
The time bandits, with the map, in the dark ages
