"Their laws are simple: the strong take everything. This is Akhoba, leader of the Rock Tribe..." - Narrator

Why watch this? Volcanoes. Dinosaurs. Cave People in fur swimsuits... I am way in!

Plot Summary: This pre-historic tale focuses on Tumak, a caveman banished from his violent Rock tribe after a confrontation with his father, the leader. Wandering a dangerous prehistoric world inhabited by dinosaurs, he eventually encounters Loana, a member of the more civilized and gentle Shell tribe. Despite initial cultural clashes, their connection sparks a romance that challenges the established traditions of both tribes.

Dad's Preview: This is another of the great Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation classics. We are catapulted back in time, when humans were savage and they shared the world with gigantic creatures. Yea, I know that's not how it really happened, but work with me here! It's epic and generally a wild ride through a land of explosions, lava flows, and creatures of every kind constantly attacking the tribes of prehistoric, scantily-clad humans.
