He’s walked through centuries. Now he fights to end them.
Reborn from mist, myth, and the echo of swords clashing across centuries, Highlander (2025) returns as a bold, blood-stirring reimagining of the cult classic—sharpened for a new generation, but forged in the same immortal fire. Directed by Chad Stahelski (John Wick), this reboot breathes fresh energy into the legend of warriors who live forever… unless they’re beheaded.
Henry Cavill takes up the mantle of Connor MacLeod, a brooding immortal born in the Scottish Highlands of the 1500s, cast out by his clan after surviving a fatal wound. Centuries later, he walks the neon-streaked streets of a modern world, carrying the weight of a secret war—a battle between immortals waged across eras, where the last survivor will claim “The Prize,” a mysterious force that could alter the fate of mankind.
As MacLeod navigates centuries of loss, love, and bloodshed, he crosses paths with Ramirez (Ken Watanabe), a mentor who teaches him to fight not just with a sword—but with purpose. Opposing them is the brutal Kurgan (Dave Bautista), an unstoppable juggernaut of violence determined to be the last immortal standing. Their fates converge in a storm of flashbacks, duels, and destiny, culminating in a final battle where history, myth, and modernity collide.
Visually, the film is a thunderclap of style—sweeping through fog-drenched moors, candlelit castles, and cyberpunk cityscapes, all scored to a haunting rework of Queen’s iconic soundtrack. But beneath the spectacle lies a sorrowful pulse: immortality is not a gift—it’s an endless goodbye. And to survive forever is to lose everything, again and again.
Highlander (2025) doesn’t just revive a franchise—it reforges a legend. Because in every era, some stories refuse to die.
