HIGHLANDER III: THE FINAL DIMENSION (1994)

MORGAN'S RATING

When a scientific expedition mistakenly unearths vicious Kane and his warriors, he begins his quest for ultimate power -- power he can only gain by killing Connor MacLeod, the Highlander who is blessed with immortality and cursed with immortal enemies. The two ageless enemies wage their war across time and across the earth until they meet in the ultimate showdown...a showdown that could change the face of time.
