In the year 1518, a Scottish Highlander name Connor MacLeod was born and with him a tale so remarkable it has captured the imagination of movie-goers, television viewers and loyal fans across the world today.
HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME provides the exciting and unexpected final chapter in the legend that has rocked the fantasy genre world. But with this last installment, the HIGHLANDER story also returns to its original roots: revitalizing the mix of imaginative storytelling, inventive action, rousing anthem rock, dizzying time-shifts across the eons, and roiling conflict between morality and immortality that characterized the cult classic film that began the enduring fascination with the Clan MacLeod.
It all began back in the 16th century, when Connor MacLeod was mortally wounded by a black knight, yet did not die, instead discovering himself to be a member of a secret clan of immortal beings who must battle each other throughout time until only one remains. That single immortal, having fed on the very souls of those he has killed, will possess the immeasurable strength and wisdom to rule the planet, whether in light or in darkness.
Now, in HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME, the battle reaches its absolute zenith as the malevolent Kell decides to go for the ultimate prize -- and take the heads of his two greatest enemies: Connor and Duncan MacLeod, two powerful immortals who have dominated in different eras yet never been united in their fight against undying evil.
HIGHLANDER fans of course know that 5000 year-old Connor MacLeod has always been a part of motion picture history, whereas the younger Duncan MacLeod is the star of the long-running television series. But here at last their stories come crashing together in the most intense and terrifying battle either man will ever see.
As Christopher Lambert comments: "This is probably the closest the story has come to returning to the original motion picture. HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME returns to the romantic side of the story -- with a lyrical look at the pain of being immortal and the necessity of winning the battle in the end."
The HIGHLANDER saga began for the world in 1986 with the release of the original motion picture, based on a screenplay by Greg Widen, who wrote the Gothic-style story of mythic battles and moral ambiguities as his senior thesis. The film forever changed the fantasy action-thriller genre with its dazzling battles, epic, time-leaping structure and the story of a man forced to become a fierce and eternal warrior in order to keep darkness from ruling the world. Never just an action movie, HIGHLANDER thrilled audiences who saw within it an archetypal story of the eternal human struggle for goodness -- and the romantic journey of a man who gave them a taste of what it means to be immortal.
Although no one at the time anticipated the effect of HIGHLANDER on audiences, it quickly evolved into a classic of the genre, spawning several sequels, numerous comic-book spinoffs and, of course, the extremely popular syndicated television series. The television show, which began in 1993, ran for six innovative seasons, eventually winning more than 10 million viewers every week in approximately 90 countries around the world. Most of all, HIGHLANDER won over a vast contingent of international fans who continue to clamor for the newest twists in the tale. There are two major HIGHLANDER conventions every year and the official HIGHLANDER: The Series website averages 80,000 visitors per day.
