Much like Connor MacLeod, this movie is immortal. Directed by Russell Mulcahy, Highlander is the fantasy action-adventure film which chronicles the climax of an age-old war between immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past and present-day storylines. Luke and Jae return to present-day (1986) to revisit the first film in the Highlander franchise. When the mystical Russell Nash (Christopher Lambert) kills a man in a sword fight in a New York City parking lot, he leaves a sliver of an ancient weapon lodged in a car in the process. After brilliant forensics specialist Brenda Wyatt (Roxanne Hart) recovers evidence of the mysterious weapon, she and her partner, Lt. Frank Moran (Alan North), embark on an investigation of Nash that will land them in the middle of the dangerous, centuries-old feud.
