An immortal Scottish swordsman faces off with other immortal warriors in order to obtain a coveted prize: mortality.

Horton, an old mortal enemy, puts a criminal through plastic surgery to make her look like Tessa. The false Tessa sets Duncan up for the final death.

Duncan MacLeod cannot die -- he is a 400-year-old immortal, who has seen his share of humanity's history. Still, he risks his life in battle against other immortals and tries to save people from harm.

Ramirez trains the young Quentin Macleod (The Highlander) and prepares him for his future and current battles against the sinister immortals in the world. (First four episodes of the animated show edited into a feature length movie.)
