Synopsis :
Born in the Highlands of Scotland in 1518, Connor Macleod is immortal. When
he is wounded in battle but does not die, he is banished from his village. He
meets another like himself, Ramirez, who teaches him swordsmanship--the only
way to kill another immortal is to take his head--and the ways of the immortals.
Modern-day New York is the location of "The Gathering," where Connor
and the few remaining immortals must battle to the last for "The Prize."
Written by Jeff Hansen
After centuries of dueling to survive against others like him, an immortal
Scottish swordsman faces his final opponent: a bloodthirsty barbarian who has
chased him across time to 1985 New York City, where they fight for the Prize:
the spiritual ability to know everything. Written by famouscasey
Connor Macleod was born in 1518 in the Highlands of Scotland. In 1536, after
facing a mysterious, evil opponent, he survives a fatal stab wound and is banished
from his village, for they believe his survival is the work of the Devil. Five
years later, Macleod is met by Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, a swordsman
who teaches Macleod the awful truth; 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
Macleod the ways of the sword, until Ramirez is tragically killed by Connor's
ultimate opponent, the evil Kurgan, a murderous immortal brute who lusts for
the ultimate power of the immortals, "The Prize"; enough power to
rule the earth forever. Connor fights his way through the centuries, until the
time of the Gathering, when the few immortals who have survived the endless
battles come together to fight until only one remains, and that winner will
receive The Prize. The time: 1985. The place: New York City. The final fight
is about to begin, and in the end, there can be only one. Written by Weapon
