In the distant future, Earth is divided into two camps, the Brutals and the Eternals. A plague is attacking the Eternals, causing them to have no interest in life and become nearly catatonic. The Brutals are told that when they die they will live with the Eternals. But when Sean Connery's character, Zed, learns to read he crosses over to discover the truth, and the tenuous balance in their world is threatened. (official distributor synopsis)
