Highlander
They are immortals, destined to live forever. They must duel down the ages
until one remians. Only decapitation by sword can release them from their
age-long battle for an incredible prize – power beyond imagination. Such are
the extraordinary events at the heart of this epic fantasy saga, a mystical tale
of the struggle between Good and Evil, between the Highlander, Connor Maclead,
and his eternal enemy, The Kurgan.
From the Scottish Highlands of the 16th century to present-day Manhatten,
they war for the prize, while the fate of mortal man hangs in the balance.
Starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery, Highlander is an action-packed
romantic adventure with spectacular sword fights and dazzling special
effects.
