    Official Press Release

    Set in the year 2293, this sci-fi cult classic stars Sean Connery as Zed, one of a race of uneducated 'Brutals', commanded to murder and enslaved by their god Zardoz who appears in the form of a gun-spitting, flying stone head. Realising that Zardoz is a false idol, Zed stows away aboard the giant head, which takes him to the Vortex, home to the immortal and telekinetic 'Eternals'. At first regarded with experimental fascination, Zed soon becomes a threat to the Eternals' dull and passionless way of life, leading them to question everything they have come to know. Written and directed by John Boorman (Excalibur), Zardoz offers symbolic commentary on class structure and religion, and is sure to both challenge and entertain audiences.
