Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a British comedy film that parodies the Arthurian legend with a unique blend of surreal humor, slapstick, and witty dialogue. Released in 1975, the film has since achieved cult status, remaining a beloved favorite among comedy enthusiasts for its irreverent take on history and its enduring quotable lines.

Set in medieval England, the film follows King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on a divinely ordained quest to find the Holy Grail. However, their journey is anything but straightforward. They encounter a series of absurd obstacles and bizarre characters, including rude Frenchmen, an argumentative bridgekeeper, a killer rabbit, and the Knights who say “Ni.” The film’s humor derives from its anachronistic elements, its juxtaposition of the mundane with the fantastical, and its playful subversion of audience expectations.
