Bill and Ted's excellent adventure event (1989)
The purpose of the movie was to provide information about historical time periods. A fact from the movie is that Bill and Ted searched the waterpark called "Waterloo" while looking for Napoleon. I connect to the movie because I took my dads keys to unlock the car like how Ted took his dad's keys to unlock the cell holding historical people. Rating: 2/5 -
