the film tells a story of a class action of paleolithic humans who travel their unsafe globe within seek of the flaming to rekindle their wasted fire. It stars Everett McGill, Ron Perlman, Nameer El-Kadi and Rae Dawn Chong; other actors include The Great Antonio.

A anthropology in this film is muddled — three separate mortal mintage, lone one of which seems to exist as sapiens, + 1 apelike class action — however it yet has a bit of swell moments & other humour than a single would require. A moving picture was adapted by Gérard Brach from the novel by J.-H. Rosny. A fictitious language spoken per prehistoric homo was invented by Anthony Burgess. A gestural & system language was overseen by Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape.

It won a Academy Award for Makeup.
