Product Details:
Acclaimed director Jean-Jacques Annaud goes to painstaking lengths to depict pre-civilized life with astonishing authenticity in this monumental story of a cave clan’s struggle to master the elements. Winning the Oscar for Best Makeup in 1983, this transcendent pre-historic tale sees a primitive tribe try to rediscover the mastery of fire that gave them warmth and a weapon against predators. During a marathon mission, the tribe travel halfway around the world and encounter sabre-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths and tribes of Neanderthals and cannibals before a clan of mud people aids them in their search for fire. Beautifully shot on location in Kenya, the Scottish Highlands and British Columbia, Quest for Fire is an epic saga of human evolution and the struggle to survive.
