 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })La Jetée ("The Pier") is a classic short 1962 black and white French Science Fiction film directed by Chris Marker.It takes place in a post-apocalyptic future in which humanity has been forced underground due to the aftermath of World War III and faces extinction from lack of resources. A series of Time Travel experiments take place with a prisoner as the subject, in hopes of being able to remedy humanity's present situation.The film is notable for being shot almost entirely as a series of still images, without dialogue other than some mumbled German.It was adapted in a more mainstream full length film entitled 12 Monkeys. David Bowie also references the film in his video for "Jump They Say".

 Applied Phlebotinum: Time travel works by apparently putting little masks with strings or wires over your eyes.

 Bittersweet Ending: The protagonist succeeds in convincing the people of the future to help humanity in the past, and is even rescued by them after the regime opts to have him executed. Instead of traveling with them into the nigh-impermeable future, he heads into the past instead to be with the girl, leaving him open to the regime's attempt to kill him and set up a stable time loop. In short, humanity is saved with the promise of a good future, but the protagonist dies in the process.

 Apocalypse How: Class 4, Species Extinction. Apparently the surface of the earth has been irradiated and what very few humans are left live in underground chambers.
