Terrence Vance "Terry" Gilliam (born November 22, 1940) is an American-British screenwriter, film director, animator, actor and member of the Monty Python comedy troupe. Subsequent to his early work with the Pythons, Gilliam became known for directing fantasy and sci-fi films, including "Time Bandits" (1981), "Brazil" (1985), "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" (1988), "The Fisher King" (1991), "12 Monkeys" (1995), "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (1998) and "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" (2009). He is the only Python not born in Britain; he took British citizenship in 1968.
In an alternate United States in 1985, a man in a Manhattan apartment watches news about escalating Cold War tensions and the response from five-term President Richard Nixon, when an unseen assailant attacks him and hurls him to the street below. A credits montage reviews the rise of costumed crime-fighters from 1939 to 1977, culminating in a public outcry and passage of an anti-vigilante act. Rorschach, a masked detective who operates illegally, discovers that the dead man was Edward Blake, better known as the Comedian, a costumed hero who worked for the government. Suspecting that other vigilantes could be attacked, he warns members of his former team, the Watchmen.[11] Rorschach's former partner Dan Dreiberg (Nite Owl II) believes he is paranoid but relays his concerns to Adrian Veidt (Ozymandias), a crime-fighter turned businessman. Jon Osterman (Doctor Manhattan) a particle physicist with accidental superpowers, is preoccupied with energy research that could prevent nuclear war and ignores Rorschach.
