Highlander is a fantasy film about an immortal scotsman named Connor Macleod (Lambert). After his tribe banished him for being unnatural, he is trained by another immortal. a spanish man named Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Connery) who teaches him how to fight. He also explains that one day all the immortals have to kill each other for a prize, but he doesn't explain anymore than that. In present day, Connor is under the name Ricky Nash. The Kurgan (Brown) - the strongest immortal - now wants to kill Macleod to win the prize. Brenda wyatt (Hart) is also a major character, a police woman who wants to find out why people are fighting with swords in car parks.
Highlander has a very 80's look to it with its special effects. I like the story as it is original and unexpected. I was surprised when I found out that there are four sequels to this film as it seems as if the story was all tied and finished. Overall a good film.
****Good
