Centuries of swordplay between immortals reaches a bloody climax when the original highlander, Connor MacLeod (Lambert), reunites with his brother Duncan (Paul, from the Highlander TV series) to combat an age-old foe.

Bearing a long-standing grudge against the MacLeod clan, the eternally malicious Jacob Kell (played with relish by Payne, Passenger 57) has returned to wreak his terrible vengeance.

Aided by a band of ruthless immortals, Kell will stop at nothing to claim the legendary Prize and become an undying deity.

The MacLeods must prevent the hell of Kell, but there's one small problem... he has already taken more than 600 heads and gained enough power to be called nothing less than the most powerful immortal alive.

The carnage comes thick and fast as this pulsating action-adventure returns to the roots of the hugely popular Highlander saga.

Putting its immediate ancestors to the sword, Highlander: Endgame is an effects-strewn cracker of a finale.
