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.
