Highlander: The Source

Highlander: The Source, released in some countries as Highlander 5: The Source, is the fifth and final installment of the Highlander film series, directed by Brett Leonard. Unlike the first three Highlander films, this film and the previous installment, Highlander: Endgame (2000), followed the continuity of Highlander: The Series (1992-1998), continuing the story of immortal swordsman Duncan MacLeod, with actor Adrian Paul reprising his role from the TV show and Endgame. It is the only Highlander film not to feature the original protagonist, Connor MacLeod. Taking place in a future version of Earth that is largely violent and chaotic, the story depicts Duncan and allies seeking out an energy well that may be the "Source of Immortality".
Highlander: The Source is the first Highlander film not released in American movie theaters. It broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel on September 15, 2007 instead. It was originally intended to be the first film of a planned trilogy of Sci-Fi Channel original movies. Due to overall negative critical reception, no direct sequels have been planned for production. At the Highlander Worldwide Convention in 2009, TV series producer David Abramowitz referred to Highlander: The Source as a "bad dream" Duncan had.
