Conner MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) returns in this, the third film in the Highlander series. MacLeod is an "Immortal," a 16th century Scottish soldier who has been both blessed and cursed with the gift of eternal life. After the death of his beloved wife (a common occurrence for him, but one he's never gotten used to), MacLeod travels to Japan during the feudal era where he encounters a fellow immortal, the wizard and swordsman Nakano (Mako). Nakano and MacLeod become friends, and the Scott learns many valuable lessons from the wise magician; however, when Nakamo's arch enemy Kane (Mario Van Peebles) -- an immortal who has pledged himself to evil -- finds the sorcerer's hideaway, he promptly chops off the magician's head. The attack causes Nakamo's cave to collapse with Kane trapped inside, and McLeod narrowly escapes. Moving into the 20th century, MacLeod is in New York City where he's become romantically involved with Alex Johnson (Deborah Unger), an archeologist who is planning a dig in Japan; however, the site she's excavating just so happens to be the cave where Kane remains trapped inside. Once the villain is freed, he sets out to find MacLeod and determine once and for all who is to be the final immortal. Highlander: The Final Dimension was trimmed of two sex scenes for its American theatrical release, though they were restored when the film was brought out on home video. Despite the suggestion of the title "The Final Dimension," a fourth Highlander film was released in 2000. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The DVD version of this digitally remastered film, which appears in a 2:35:1 theatrical ratio (widescreen letterbox format), comes with clear Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Sound and some extra director's cut footage that did not appear in the theater version. It also has English captions for the hearing-impaired. The "bonus materials" amount to the theatrical trailer plus four shamelessly advertised videos -- Pulp Fiction, Scream, Tombstone, and The Crow; clicking on their images does nothing, forcing the user to ignore them and return to the main menu -- just as this film ignored its predecessors to the puzzlement of Highlander fans everywhere. ~ Craig Chalquist, All Movie Guide
