Zardoz
Guion/Script: John Boorman Género/Genre: Sci-Fi, Fantasía (Sci-Fi, Fantasy) Reparto/Cast: Sean Connery, Charlotte Rampling, Sarah Kestelman Sinopsis A finales del siglo XXIII, en la Tierra sólo sobreviven dos razas humanas: los Eternos, una casta privilegiada que no envejece y los Brutales, quienes viven sumergidos en la miseria, regidos por el culto a Zardoz, el dios encargado de elegir a los hombres más aptos para la batalla contra los Eternos. Synopsis Zardoz, an unseen "God" who speaks through an idol, a large stone statue of a head, leads a barbaric race called the Brutals, who live a harsh existence in the Outlands. Zardoz tells the Brutals that once they die, they will be transported to the Vortex, where they will live happily as immortals. He has armed a small group, the Exterminators, with guns, as Zardoz's philosophy is that killing is good, and procreation is the root of all that is bad.
