A monumental film tracing the pre-history of man as he struggles to master the elements, acclaimed director Jean-Jacques Annaud goes to painstaking lengths to depict pre-civilized life with astonishing authenticity, the film deservedly winning the Oscar for best makeup in 1983. The multiaward winning 'Quest for Fire' (it also won Best Film at the French film awards) features stunning location cinematography in Kenya, the Scottish Highlands and British Columbia.
