About Being Human

One man must learn the meaning of courage across four lifetimes centuries apart.

About

A man named Hector gets the chance to live five separate lives through different periods of history. He is reincarnated as a Celt, a Roman slave, a Scottish crusader, a shipwreck victim and a modern-day New Yorker.

Trivia

After poor test screenings, Warner Bros. instructed writer and director Bill Forsyth to cut 40 minutes, add narration and a happy ending.
