Dean Corso (J. Depp) stručnjak je za stare i rijetke knjige i iznimno spretan trgovac čiji se poslovi mjere u stotinama tisuća dolara. Nakon svog posljednjeg poslovnog uspjeha angažira ga multimilijunaš i strastveni bibliofil Boris Balkan (F. Langella) za dosad najneobičniji zadatak u karijeri. Balkan, naime, traga za rijetkim rukopisom iz 1666. godine o kojemu kruži legenda da ga je napisao sam Sotona. Vjeruje se da postoje samo tri otiska rukopisa, a jedan je već kod Balkana: prodao mu ga je bivši vlasnik koji se nedavno objesio. Balkan želi i ostala dva. Dean, koji se upravo sprema na put u Europu, posjeti vlasnikovu udovicu Lianu (L. Olin) koja ga uvjeri da njezin suprug nikad nije imao namjeru prodati knjigu...
Immortals Connor and Duncan Macleod join forces against a man from Connor's distant past in the highlands of Scotland, Kell, an immensely powerful immortal who leads an army of equally powerful and deadly immortal swordsmen and assassins. No immortal alive has been able to defeat Kell yet, and neither Connor nor Duncan are skilled enough themselves to take him on and live. The two of them eventually come to one inevitable conclusion; one of them must die so that the combined power of both the Highlanders can bring down Kell for good. There can be only one... the question is, who will it be?

This mostly lost film is often confused with director Paul Wegener third and readily available interpretation of the legend; Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam (1920). In this version of the golem legend, the golem, a clay statue brought to life by Rabbi Loew in 16th century Prague to save the Jews from the ongoing brutal persecution by the city's rulers, is found in the rubble of an old synagogue in the 20th century. Brought to life by an antique dealer, the golem is used as a menial servant. Eventually falling in love with the dealer's wife, it goes on a murderous rampage when its love for her goes unanswered.
