Director Russell Mulcahy's 1986 fantasy action film "Highlander," starring Christopher Lambert as an immortal Scotsman who battles others of his kind, celebrates its 40th anniversary as the best installment in a franchise that spawned sequels, TV series, and a planned reboot since 2008. Screenwriter Gregory Widen, a UCLA student, sold his original script for $200,000, drawing inspiration from "The Duellists" and his visits to Scotland and the Tower of London.
