Zardoz [WorldCat Entities]

"Story of the world in 2293, in which society is divided into two groups; Vortex, a community of scientists and intellectuals called the Eternals and the outside world, peopled by the Brutals, who worship Zardoz. Zed (Connery) finds his way into Vortex and starts a chain of events to change the entire world."@en
"Portando al massimo le mitiche aspirazioni dell'umanità, nell'anno 2293 gli Immortali (che sono i ricchi, i potenti e gli intelligenti), per mezzo del massimo ottenibile dal progresso scientifico e tecnologico, hanno costituito in Vortex un'oasi di asfissiante immortalità. Accanto a loro vegetano per sempre gli Apatici (i disadattati) e i Rinnegati (incoerenti condannati a perenne vecchiaia). La colonia viene nutrita dai Bruti, schiavi che lavorano la terra, dominati con violenza dagli Sterminatori, che tuttavia, sono Mortali come i loro sudditi. Tutto il sistema è retto da due invenzioni di Arthur Frayn: il Cristallo (o tabernacolo o cervello di quanto avviene in Vortex) e Zardoz (una divinità di pietra, volante, dispensatrice di ordini e di armi per gli sterminatori). Zed, mortale sterminatore che brama tanto avventura che verità, introdottosi in Zardoz con un trucco, riesce a penetrare anche in Vortex. Uccidendo Frayn, scuotendo la coscienza di Amico, ridonando fremiti sessuali a May e Consuela, dispensando la morte al Vecchio e alla sua corte, infrangendo il Tabernacolo, Zed distrugge l'illusione e dà inizio nuovamente alla vita umana secondo le leggi della natura."@it

""2293. La Terre a été totalement dévastée et la société est divisée en plusieurs castes : les Brutes, les Exterminateurs et les Barbares qui vouent un culte sans limite au dieu Zardoz. Tous oeuvrent pour les Eternels, un groupe d'humains immortels. Ce nouvel équilibre va être bouleversé lorsque Zed, un Exterminateur, décide de pénétrer chez les éternels, défiant ainsi le dieu Zardoz..."

"Set in the future world of 2293, society is divided into two clashing groups -- the Eternals, who are immortal scientists and intellectuals, and the Brutals, who are primitive savages and killers who worship the fearsome god, Zardoz. For years these two opposing groups remain in delicate balance until a Brutal finds his way into the heavily-guarded community of the Eternals."@en

"Nous sommes au 23ème siècle. Sur la terre, il ne subsiste plus que 2 races humaines. Les immortels, descendants de savants, ont appris à prolonger indéfiniment la vie, ils vivent dans le Vortex dirigé par le Tabernacle, un ordinateur suprême. Les autres sont de misérables sauvages, survivants d'un monde ravagé, pollué, soumis à Zardoz, un dieu inventé par les immortels. Un ardent conflit surviendra lorsque Zed le chef des exterminateurs, tueur brutal doué de pouvoirs exceptionnels, tentera d'envahir le Vortex ..."
