With all the splendor you'd expect in a 1981 Mel Brooks film, you'll be taken from the Stone Age, through Ancient Rome and the Spanish Inquisition, to the French Revolution in this spoof on historic world events.

Wow, there were a lot of great comedies in the 80's. And Mel Brooks is responsible for more than one of them. Featuring many of the brightest comedy minds of the time, History of the World is a staple in the genre. The laughs keep coming here, and it just keeps getting more outrageous. Mel Brooks is simply one of the most comically talented people ever.

Directed by Mel Brooks.

By the way, there is no History of the World, Part II.
