He  fought  his  first  battle  on the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He will
fight his greatest battle on the streets of New York  city  in  1986.  His
name is Connor MacLeod. He is immortal.

After surviving a wound that should have killed him during a clan battle in  the  Scottish  Highlands  in  1536,  Connor  MacLeod  (Christopher Lambert) is banished from his village. Years later, he is  met  by  Juan Sanchez  Villa-Lobos  Ramirez  (Sean  Connery),  a  swordsman who teaches MacLeod the truth about himself;  he  is  immortal,  one  of  a race  of  many  who  can only die when the head is cut from the body. He must fight his  way  through  the  centuries  until  the  time  of  the gathering,  when  the  few  immortals  who  have survived the ages will come together to fight until only one remains.  In  New  York  City  the final fight is about to begin, and in the end there can be only one!
