"Highlander's wacky story concerns Connor MacLeod, smoulderingly played by Lambert, a fiery young warrior in the Scottish Highlands in the 1530s, who appears to have been killed during a war with the opposing Fraser clan."
"Driven out of the village, his only ally is his great love Heather, but the couple are astonished to encounter what appears to be an effetely dressed Spanish nobleman, played by Sean Connery."
"Every 40 or 50 years, he has to keep changing his identity using misappropriated death and birth certificates, meaning that Highlander can be added to the long list of movies and books who have borrowed Frederick Forsyth's fake ID scam from The Day of the Jackal."
