The Highlander franchise began in 1986 with the fantasy action-adventure film starring Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod, Sean Connery as Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez, and Clancy Brown as The Kurgan. It was followed by 1991’s Highlander II: The Quickening, 1994’s Highlander III: The Sorcerer, 2000’s Highlander: Endgame, 2007’s Highlander: The Source, and 2007’s Highlander: The Search for Vengeance. There was also a handful of TV shows, including Highlander: The Series, Highlander: The Animated Series, and Highlander: The Raven.
A description of the first film reads, “When the mystical Russell Nash (Lambert) kills a man in a sword fight in a New York City parking lot, he leaves a sliver of an ancient weapon lodged in a car in the process. After brilliant forensics specialist Brenda Wyatt (Roxanne Hart) recovers evidence of the mysterious weapon, she and her partner, Lt. Frank Moran (Alan North), embark on an investigation Of Nash that will land them in the middle of a dangerous, centuries-old feud between powerful immortals.”
