Movie Summary
Conner MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) returns in this, the third film in the Highlander series. MacLeod is an Immortal, a 16th century Scottish soldier who has been both blessed and cursed with the gift of eternal life. After the death of his beloved wife (a common occurrence for him, but one hes never gotten used to), MacLeod travels to Japan during the feudal era where he encounters a fellow immortal, the wizard and swordsman Nakano (Mako). Nakano and MacLeod become friends, and the Scott learns many valuable lessons from the wise magician; however, when Nakamos arch enemy Kane (Mario Van Peebles) -- an immortal who has pledged himself to evil -- finds the sorcerers hideaway, he promptly chops off the magicians head. The attack causes Nakamos cave to collapse with Kane trapped inside, and McLeod narrowly escapes. Moving into the 20th century, MacLeod is in New York City where hes become romantically involved with Alex Johnson (Deborah Unger), an archeologist who is planning a dig in Japan; however, the site shes excavating just so happens to be the cave where Kane remains trapped inside. Once the villain is freed, he sets out to find MacLeod and determine once and for all who is to be the final immortal. Highlander: The Final Dimension was trimmed of two sex scenes for its American theatrical release, though they were restored when the film was brought out on home video. Despite the suggestion of the title The Final Dimension, a fourth Highlander film was released in 2000. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
