Amid the ruins of the 24th century, a savage—trained solely to sow death—steps toward the secrets hidden behind a colossal stone head. In this dystopian universe created by John Boorman, a community of immortals—who have forgotten death and preserve all of humanity’s accumulated knowledge in sterile isolation—is shaken by the arrival of this outsider. A mysterious murder unfolding in the background reveals just how rotten this seemingly flawless order truly is. Blending science fiction and action elements with intense suspense, the film draws the audience into a savage struggle for survival within the breathless and eerie atmosphere of the future. In that sterile sanctuary where time has stood still, nothing will ever be the same again.
