English Summary:

Highlander is a 1986 British-American fantasy action-adventure film directed by Russell Mulcahy and based on a story by Gregory Widen. It stars Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown, and Roxanne Hart. The film chronicles the climax of an ages-old battle among immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past and present-day storylines.

Christopher Lambert plays swordsman Connor MacLeod from the Scottish Highlands, known as the Highlander, one of a number of immortal warriors who can be killed only by decapitation. After initial training by another highly skilled immortal swordsman, Ramirez (Sean Connery), MacLeod lives on for several centuries, eventually settling in New York City, managing an antiques shop. In 1985, he falls in love with a police forensic scientist named Brenda. He also finds out that he must face his greatest enemy, Kurgan (Clancy Brown), who wishes to kill MacLeod and to obtain "the Prize" – a special ability which is given to the last living immortal warrior, vast knowledge and the ability to enslave the entire human race.

Highlander enjoyed little success on its initial theatrical release, grossing over $12 million worldwide against a production budget of $19 million, and received mixed reviews. Nevertheless, it became a cult film and inspired film sequels and television spin-offs. Its tagline, "There can be only one", has carried on, as have the songs provided for the film by the rock band Queen.

Hungarian Summary:

Connor MacLeod 1518-ban, a skót felföldön látta meg a napvilágot. Ahogy férfivá érett, a szomszéd klánnal vívott első csata során halálos sebet kapott - s csodák csodája, mégis életben marad. Egy spanyol kalandor, Ramirez veszi pártfogásába, s Connor tőle tudja meg a nagy titkot: mindketten a halhatatlanok rendjébe tartoznak, akiknek csak lefejezéssel lehet elvenni az életét. Felkészíti védencét a velük egyívásúak között folyó halálos párviadal-sorozatra, amelynek végén a halhatatlanok közül csak egyetlenegy maradhat. Küzdelmes évszázadok után, a XX. század végén New Yorkban találkozunk újra MacLeoddal, aki a végső összecsapásra készül: ősellenségével, a gonoszt megtestesítő Kurgannal kell felvennie a harcot az egész emberiség védelmében.
