From the box:

…they didn’t make history, they stole it!

This adventure-fantasy-comedy is a wildly imaginative trip to a new dimension in time and space crammed with humor, action and spectacular special effects. A young time traveler (Craig Warnock) encounters Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon, as well as the sinking of the Titanic, in this spaced-out romp through the heavens and history, produced and directed by Monty Python’s Terry Gilliam. The musical score by ex-Beatle George Harrison adds to the excitement of castles, legends, battles between good and evil and the capricious rewriting of history.

From the box:

Two-time Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson overwhelms you as Jack Torrance, winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, who spirals helplessly towards madness and murder as the hotel’s power plays upon his weaknessess. Shelley Duvall is the ultimate woman on the run as Jack’s put-upon wife Wendy, and Danny Lloyd effectively plays their psychic son, whose ability — his “shining” — unlocks visions of evil.
