Quick Synopsis

Kevin, a young boy fascinated by history, is surprised when six dwarfs suddenly appear from his closet one night. These dwarfs, who used to work for a powerful entity known as the Supreme Being, have stolen a map that shows all the gaps in time. Using this map, they travel through different historical periods to steal valuable treasures. Kevin joins them on their journey, visiting figures like Napoleon, Robin Hood, and King Agamemnon. However, their actions eventually attract the attention of the Supreme Being, who comes after them.

Detailed Synopsis of Time Bandits

Young history buff Kevin can scarcely believe it when six dwarfs emerge from his closet one night. Former employees of the Supreme Being, they've purloined a map charting all of the holes in the fabric of time and are using it to steal treasures from different historical eras. Taking Kevin with them, they variously drop in on Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon before the Supreme Being catches up with them.
