- Act 1:
- Scene 1:
- John Highlander is an immortal and wanders the world. He is searching
- for his father Connor. Time passes and eventually he finds himself in a
- dystopian future. He meets an old man named Evan, who knew his father.
- Scene 2:
- Evan trains John in the art of swordplay with a magical blade called
- "Lightbane".
- Scene 3:
- Years later Evan is on his deathbed and warns John of a vision he had -
- John will someday lose his arm. He tells John that his father has an
- evil clone named Kevin. Kevin was actually the one who claimed the prize
- at the end of the first movie, while Connor was locked away in an evil
- laboratory. Since Connor is immortal, he is probably still there even
- though centuries have passed. Evan dies.
- Act 2:
- Scene 1:
- John decides to storm the gates of the laboratory. However, he is
- quickly apprehended by guards.
- Scene 2:
- John is thrown in a holding cell, which coincidentally right next to his
- father's cell! Connor gives John some backstory and then John breaks out
- of his cell by stealing a key from a passing guard. He offers to let
- Connor out too, but Connor opts to stay behind, because he has his own
- quest.
- Scene 3:
- John sneaks through the facility and collects his gear from the room
- where it was being held. But then the administrator of the facility,
- Helga, shows up. John opts to flee rather than fight.
- Scene 4:
- After a brief chase, John suddenly finds himself outside in medieval
- scotland. How could that happen? John is confused. He's more confused
- when he sees someone who looks just like him forging a sword just like
- Lightbane. Then the scene shifts - the whole thing was a simulation and
- Helga and her scientists were using John to find out how Lightbane was
- created.
- Scene 5:
- Thousands of guards show up to fight against John with their mass-
- produced Lightbane replicas. They're no match for the real thing,
- though. Even Helga herself isn't a match, and is easily killed. But then
- another figure shows up - Kevin! He looks just like Connor and wields
- his own magic sword called "Aerolite". Aerolite is so powerful that
- Lightbane is destroyed when Aerolite parries one of Lightbane's attacks.
- Kevin cuts off John's arm and leaves him to die.
- Act 3:
- Scene 1:
- An old man comes to the lab and rescues John. His name is Notru. John
- recognizes him - he looks just like the man who mentored Connor years
- ago. Notru takes John to safety and explains that there is an alternate
- universe. Kevin is Connor's alternate. Notru is the alternate of
- Connor's mentor.
- Scene 2:
- Some time has passed, and John has recovered from his wound (although
- his arm is still missing). Notru takes John to a bar. He introduces
- John to another alternate - Olga. Olga is the other universe's version
- of Helga. Olga explains that she used to date Kevin in the other
- universe, but they broke up after crossing over. Now Kevin is working
- with Helga, and Olga wants to stop him. Olga also reveals that she (and
- Helga) are aliens, and that the lab was built with alien tech. She
- teaches John the secret to defeating Kevin - John's strength increases
- on higher ground, but Kevin's strength decreases under the same
- conditions. To win, John must be the highlander. Before any more can be
- revealed, John is captured by some of Kevin's spies who had been hanging
- out in the bar.
- Scene 3:
- John is taken back to the lab where Kevin challenges him to one final
- fight. Without Lightbane, John is fairly helpless at first, but
- gradually the fight works up to higher and higher ground, where the two
- combatants' strength is more evenly matched. But then Kevin reveals that
- he has the power to transform into a more powerful shape - a horrific
- unstoppable beast. Some time during the fight, the lab catches fire.
- As the lab crumbles, John leaps to safety from the roof, and is caught
- by Olga, saving him from a deadly fall. Kevin has no such luck - he
- plunges into the flames. The evil is defeated.
- Epilogue:
- Connor explores the ruins of the laboratory. Finally he rounds a bend
- and speaks with a shadowy figure. The figure had orchestrated everything
- from the start. At the end of the scene we see that he is John's
- alternate universe counterpart - Jacques. He refers to Connor as
- "father", suggesting perhaps that the parentage of John and Jacques is
- not what we first believed.
