Connor McLeod (Christopher Lambert - Mortal Kombat, Subway) survives a wound that should kill him in a clan battle in the Scottish Highlands in 1536, and is banished from his village. Years later McLeod is met by Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Sean Connery - The Untouchables, The Hunt for Red October), a swordsman who teaches McLeod the truth about himself; he is immortal, one of a race of many who can only die when the head is cut from the body. When one immortal takes the head of another, the loser's power is absorbed into the winner. Ramirez teaches McLeod the ways of the sword, until he is killed by gravest foe, the evil Kurgan (Clancy Brown - The Shawshank Redemption) who lusts for the ultimate power of the immortals, "The Prize"; enough power to rule the earth forever. McLeod must fight his way through the centuries until the time of the Gathering, when the few immortals who have survived the ages will come together to fight until only one remains.
In New York City the final fight is about to begin, and in the end, there can be only one.

A True 80's Classic !
The 1980’s will always be remembered for its classic fantasy and action films, and Highlander will always be one of its best. Speaking very little English when he was cast, Christopher Lambert is excellent in his most signature role, along with brilliant performances from both Sean Connery and Clancy Brown. As well as its beautiful Scottish scenery and Cinematography, the special effects were way ahead of its time and still look good today more than two decades later without the use of CGI. The true genius of the film however is perhaps its pulse pounding score by Queen. The selection of songs fits perfectly with the action and moods of the film, and its signature theme is instantly recognisable the moment it plays. A true 80’s classic from start to finish.
