Return to the 1986 cult classic on the big screen. They are an immortal race of warriors. A unique breed of men who can die only by being decapitated with a sword. Fated to duel down the ages to a distant time called the Gathering, where the last few will battle for the Prize – power beyond imagination. From the Scottish Highlands of the sixteenth century to present-day New York, Connor MacLeod, who wants no part of this, but who cannot escape his destiny, does battle against his fellow warriors while the fate of mortal man hangs in the balance.

Rose of Nevada (15)

22 - 27 May 2026

Dir. Mark Jenkin, 2026
Runtime: 114 mins

‘A Cornish modern classic. Eerie, heart-breaking, wonderful.’ — Mark Kermode When a fishing boat, the Rose of Nevada, lost with all hands 30 years ago, mysteriously reappears in the old harbour of a forgotten Cornish village, for those who remember, it’s surely a sign. The boat must go out to sea again and maybe then the luck of the devastated village will turn. Young father Nick (George MacKay) and enigmatic newcomer Liam (Callum Turner) join captain Murgey (Francis Magee), and they head to sea. But when they return, satisfied with their haul, something is amiss — they’ve slipped back in time, and the villagers greet them as if they are the original crew. Rose of Nevada is Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin’s hotly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to his BAFTA-award-winning first feature Bait (2019) and Enys Men (2022). Unique among British feature filmmakers for the analogue way in which he crafts his films, Jenkin once again serves as writer, director, director of photography, editor, sound designer and score composer.
