I
think it's too easy to say NA is similar to "Highlander," simply
because its lead character is immortal. While McLeod cannot die unless
beheaded, he, and his fellow immortal Nick Knight, are immortal
primarily defined by their natures.
The great appeal of John Amsterdam (or York, or Dutch, or any of his
other aliases) is that he is a relatively ordinary man who, by virtue
of having lived since
the 17th century, has learned much and experienced more. None of us is
likely to picture ourselves as McLeod or Knight, but practically anyone
can imagine that given the right circumstances, we could be John
Amsterdam. He is extremely human, not at all superhuman....except for
that one thing. He cannot die, not until he finds and commits to The
One.
Jon
and Wendy Savage are two siblings who have spent their adult years
trying to recover from the abuse of their abusive father, Lenny Savage.
Suddenly, a call comes in that his girlfriend has died, he cannot care
for himself with his dementia and her family is dumping him on his
children. Despite the fact Jon and Wendy have not spoken to Lenny for
twenty years and he is even more loathsome than ever, the Savage
siblings feel obliged to take care of him. Now together, brother and
sister must come to terms with the new and painful responsibilities
with their father now affecting their lives even as they struggle with
their own personal demons Lenny helped create.

Cooper has been smitten with Cristabel Abbott since he first laid eyes
on her at the impressionable age of six. But before he could try and
up to her at nap time, or maybe send her a valentine, his family moved
away. In the intervening years there have been other women in Nate's
life, but none who could measure up to Cristabel. Convinced she's the
only girl for him, Nate decides to move back to L.A. and track her
down. The good news: she's still single and stunning. The bad news:
there's a reason she's still single.

One
day, Horton the elephant hears a cry from help coming from a speck of
dust. Even though he can't see anyone on the speck, he decides to help
it. As it turns out, the speck of dust is home to the Whos, who live in
their city of Whoville. Horton agrees to help protect the Whos and
their home, but this gives him nothing but torment from his neighbors,

matter how small."
A
story set against the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the film is based upon
the tragedy which occurred in Utah in 1857. A group of settlers,
traveling on wagons, was murdered by the native Mormons. All together,

two young lovers-to-be, one a Mormon and the other one of the doomed

suspicion and rancor.
