Twelve Monkeys (1995)

In a dystopian future, humans are forced to live underground due to a poisonous surface. Scientists, who have mastered time travel, wonder if it's possible to send someone back to 1996, shortly before a deadly virus was released into the atmosphere, find the person responsible, and obtain a sample of the virus to create an antidote. Criminal James Cole agrees to the mission in exchange for a pardon if he is successful. The only clue is an underground political, and apparently terrorist, movement called the "Twelve Monkeys." However, as time travel remains imprecise, Cole arrives six years early. His erratic behavior causes him to be institutionalized alongside Jeffrey Goines, leader of an animal rights movement. Cole's psychiatrist, the gifted and sensitive Kathryn Railly, senses that there may be something special about this patient who gives her a sense of déjà vu that they've already met.
