Really hard adventure action which will soon be re released with

There can only be one, but there will soon be at least one more Highlander: The legendary fantasy cult film series will soon be released as a reboot with Henry Cavill in the lead role. Until then, you can watch the original on TV again today.

Today on TV: This is what the cult adventure film Highlander with Christopher Lambert is about

Scotsman Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) is amazed when he easily survives a fatal injury. He soon finds out that he immortal – unless someone cuts off his head. The Spaniard Ramirez (Sean Connery) trains him and introduces him to the world of the so-called Highlanders.

There are more of these immortals, and they are doomed to fight each other. If one cuts off the head of the other, he absorbs all of his strength. Which means that even many centuries later, MacLeod still has to fight against his bitterest enemy.

In Highlander, archaic sword fights also take place in modern times.

Highlander is really fun and will soon be remade

This is where the planned Highlander remake comes into play. It sounds quite promising. On the one hand, the Henry Cavill, who has already had sword fighting experience through The Witcher in the lead role, on the other hand, John Wick director Chad Stahelski wants to invent a completely new type of sword fighting for his remake.
