Trama
In the distant future, Zardoz (voiced by John Colicos), a powerful entity residing in the Vortex, commands a savage tribe known as the Brutals who inhabit the Outlands. Among them is Zed (Sean Connery), an Exterminator trained to kill and propagate Zardoz's philosophy that procreation is evil. Zed accidentally discovers a secret passage leading into the Vortex. There, he finds a utopian society of immortal beings called the Eternals, led by May (Shelagh Fraser) and including Friend (Niall Buggy) and Consuela (Charlotte Rampling). The Eternals initially intend to study Zed before killing him but find his presence disrupts their stagnant lifestyle. Zed's brutal nature awakens both attraction and fear among the Eternals, exposing cracks in their supposedly perfect society.
