Special Features

The producers have included extensive supplementals such as the original theatrical trailer, running audio commentary by director Russell Mulcahy and producers Peter Davis and William Panzer, numerous production photos, and a still-frame presentation of the evolution of the film from scripting to casting and on to production and release, featuring notes and letters, script revisions and reviews.

Story Synopsis

Highlander is an epic fantasy-adventure tale of Scottish near-immortals fighting to the death for a mythical prize. Connery, cast as an Egyptian/Spaniard, and Lambert, a Scotsman, battle against a similarly eternal, but evil-spirited nemesis, The Kurgan (Brown). They feel pain but can not die except by decapitation. The saga begins in 1536 and spans four centuries ending in modern day New York City.
