Storyline When Connor Macleod sees his old friend Rachel die in an explosion, he's had it with his immortal life and the endless pain it brings him and those he loves. He locks himself inside the Sanctuary, a Watcher-organized retreat stationed on holy ground, where immortals who are tired of the game can go to forever escape it, as well as to ensure that The Prize never falls into the wrong hands. But when an old enemy, Jacob Kell, and his posse of assassins attack the Sanctuary and kill everyone there but Connor, he is forced out into the open and into battle. Kell and Connor were friends once, and knew each other back when Connor was cast from Glenfinnan; he returned when news came that his mother was to be burned at the stake, and in the attempt to free her, Kell was killed by none other than Connor himself, and became an immortal, bitter with hate, and devoted to making Connor's life a living hell...

Did You Know?
Trivia:
The scene of the village burning was originally shot to show Connor deliberately setting the fire in his fit of rage. The producers later decided that Connor would not be cruel enough to do this, and the scene was edited to make it appear that the fire starts incidentally.

The lack of dust in Connor's war room after ten years of disuse.
Quotes: Kate MacLeod:
Stealing's wrong. Lying's wrong. Killing's wrong. What you did goes well beyond wrong. Duncan MacLeod:
Fine I deserve that but I want a chance to make it right. Kate MacLeod:
You want to make it right? Then give me back the ability to have children, to grow old with the man I love. How about anything that resembles a normal life? And you took it all away from me.
User Review
A final(?) piece of a brilliant puzzle.
Rating: 8/10
The last installment of the Highlander movie series is a brilliant blend of
the original movie and the popular television characters. The story line is
weaved through past history (as Highlander fans have come to expect) and
picks up where the television series ended. It still stands alone as a
movie
in itself, though I will admit it may be hard for a non-highlander fan to
grasp all of the concepts that are thrown at them. All in all, Davis/Panzer
have once again given credit to this wonderful science fiction series by
watching the details of the character's pasts and still creating unknown
events in their lives. This is the beauty of this series, just when you
think you know the character something pops up from their past. This will
be
an emotional movie for diehard Highlander fans, just as the "To Be/Not to
Be" t.v. finale was. In my opinion, even though this is dubbed as the final
act of this series, there is still one minor issue that still
remains....there can be only be one!
