In the year 2024, the ozone layer is believed to have been destroyed, and it's up to MacLeod and Ramirez to set things right. Opposition comes from both the planet Zeist (MacLeod and Ramirez's homeworld) and a corporation profiting from the supposed lack of ozone. Also, flashbacks show the story behind MacLeod and Ramirez's exile from Zeist.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling sci-fi action spectacle that swaps the Highlands for a dystopian future, stuffing sword-swinging immortals into a convoluted plot about environmental apocalypse and alien intrigue. It's chaotic but committed to its own wild ambition.
