'''Zardoz''' is a 1974 Irish-American [[science fantasy]] movie starring Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling. The film was created by John Boorman.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
<br />
In a post-apocalyptic future (2293) the world is divided between the Eternals (immortals) and Brutes (mortals).<br />
<br />
After killing Arthur Frayn and hiding inside the floating head "Zardoz", Zed (a "Brutal Exterminator") travels to Vortex, the place inhabited by the Eternals.<br />
<br />
Upon his arrival in Vortex, Zed is made a slave. But later the eternals discover that Zed is the near-perfect by product of a [[eugenics]] experiment orchestrated by Arthur Frayn (Zardoz).<br />
<br />
Zed later uncovers the truth of the eternals and their ways and sets out to change the world.<br />

<br />
The movie begins with Arthur Frayn (Who at this point calls himself "Zardoz") introducing himself as a man who wishes to die, but he says it is [[involuntary immortality|no longer possible]] because he is immortal.<br />
<br />
There are some kind of birthing/re-animation chambers similar in appearance to those in [[The Matrix]] and one of the characters mentions a "third death" hinting that a person has been either re-animated or re-born. It's not made clear whether this is some kind of cloning technology or a kind of biological backup system.<br />
<br />
During one scene, One of the characters asks Zed (Sean Connery's character) if he; "Would like to see immortality at work?". The 2 men arrive at an old folks home like area where the geriatrics have been "shunned" and The character mentions that they live a life senility. This is clearly a more negative/dystopian or [[Deathism|deathist]] view of immortality, and one that would not be well thought of by longevity advocates.<br />
<br />
We learn that the Eternals get their immortality from an [[AI]] known as the Tabernacle.<br />
<br />
There are also various retro-futuristic and futuristic technologies shown throughout the movie including holographic devices and hydroponic-like plant growing devices.<br />
<br />
Zed is also revealed to be the result of a [[Eugenics]] experiment.<br />
