''La Jetée'' (The Pier) is a 1962 black and white French science fiction short film. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity has been forced underground due to the aftermath of WorldWarIII and faces extinction from lack of resources, it details a series of time-travel experiments that a prisoner is subjected to in the hopes of being able to acquire aid to help with humanity's present situation.
The film is notable for being shot almost entirely as a series of still images, with no dialogue other than some mumbled German.
The later, more mainstream film, ''Film/TwelveMonkeys'', was inspired by ''La Jetée'', and lifts several concepts directly from the older film, including a prisoner being sent back in time to help with an apocalyptic future. Music/DavidBowie also references the film in his video for "[[Music/BlackTieWhiteNoise Jump They Say]]".
