The Crimson Permanent Assurance is a short film directed by Terry Gilliam. It was originally intended to be a part of the Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, but it ended up being a separate film due to its length.
The film follows a group of elderly office workers who rebel against their corporate overlords at the Crimson Permanent Assurance Company. They turn their office building into a pirate ship and set sail to raid modern financial institutions.
As they sail through the streets of London, they encounter various obstacles and challenges. Eventually, they reach their target, the skyscraper of a large financial corporation. They board the building and engage in a fierce battle with the younger, more technologically advanced employees.
The Crimson Permanent Assurance is a satirical take on corporate culture and the power dynamics within organizations. It uses humor and absurdity to critique the greed and ruthlessness of modern capitalism.
