Description
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is a 1988 British adventure fantasy comedy film co-written and directed by Terry Gilliam, starring John Neville, Sarah Polley, Eric Idle, Jonathan Pryce, Oliver Reed, and Uma Thurman. Based on the tall tales that the 18th-century German nobleman Baron Munchhausen was alleged to have told about his wartime exploits against the Ottoman Empire, the film was critically well-received but was a commercial failure.
