For over 400 years, Connor Macleod has been decapitating immortals, the only way to kill them, in order to be their last survivor. He would thus win the Prize, a power whose virtues no one really knows. To do so, he must triumph over his sworn enemy: the cruel Kurgan.
Russell Mulcahy
Russell Mulcahy is an Australian director of film, television, and music videos. He began his career directing music videos for artists like Elton John and Duran Duran before making his feature directorial debut with the horror film Razorback (1984). He then achieved international prominence by directing the fantasy action film Highlander (1986), which spawned a multimedia franchise. Mulcahy's subsequent work includes Highlander's first sequel Highlander II: The Quickening (1991), the superhero film The Shadow (1994), the action-horror film Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), and the Errol Flynn biopic In Like Flynn (2018). He was also a director and executive producer of the television series Teen Wolf (2011–17), and directed the film's 2023 feature film spin-off. Stylistically, Mulcahy's work is recognisable by the use of fast cuts, tracking shots, glowing lights, neo-noir lighting, windblown drapery, and fans.
