The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit with him at Camelot. Through satire of certain events in history they find Camelot, but decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God comes to them from a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search. Throughout their search they meet interesting people and knights along the way. Most of the characters die; some through a killer rabbit, others from not answering a question right from the bridge of Death, or die some other ridiculous way.

To this day one of the greatest movies mankind has ever produced. Life altering, (to some extent, I'm sure) this film is truly comedy gold.
