Terry Gilliam directed The Fisher King (1991) from a screenplay by Richard LaGravenese, turning his camera on a real, unfantastical New York. Robin Williams plays Parry, a former professor driven mad by grief, who believes the Holy Grail is hidden in a Manhattan billionaire's townhouse. Jeff Bridges is Jack, a former shock jock whose on-air rant inadvertently inspired a mass shooting that killed Parry's wife. Mercedes Ruehl won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar as Jack's girlfriend Anne.
Jack's watch has been identified as a TAG Heuer Link. TAG Heuer introduced the model in 1987 as the S/el, short for Sports Elegance, positioning it between sport and dress watches before later renaming it the Link. The identification comes from a single watch-spotting site rather than a documented source, and the watch is not clearly visible in the available stills, so it stays unconfirmed.
