Robin Williams is Parry, a homeless history professor who lives in a fantasy world full of castles, Red Knights and damsels in distress. Jeff Bridges co-stars as Jack, New York's No 1-shock deejay, whose off hand arrogance triggers a tragedy, which ruins his career. Penniless and without prospects, Jack finds himself plucked from disaster by the most improbable of saviours, Parry.
The Holy Grail
Parry takes Jack to show him the location of the Holy Grail. This building that looks an awful lot like a red castle was the Squadron A and Eigth Regiment Armoury. It's now Hunters College High School.
