About this movie

Based on the first of Jean Auel's four bestselling prehistoric novels set 35,000,000 years ago, this epic film tells the story of one woman's struggle for acceptance amidst a barbaric clan. Daryl Hannah ("Grumpy Old Men," "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman") is the Cro-Magnon who seeks shelter among a tribe of Neanderthals. Extraordinary location photography and a script by John Sayles ("Passion Fish'" "Eight Men Out") make this a truly stunning motion picture. Co-starring Pamela Reed ("Junior," "Kindergarten Cop") and Curtis Armstrong ("Risky Business," "Revenge of the Nerds").

This movie by itself is a great story. Unfortunately the people that made the on-screen adaptation decided to change it so much that no further movies can be made, and the author wasn't aware of the drastic changes until it was too late. The series is amazingly descriptive, although the author ended it more abruptly than was expected. She originally intended to write 7 books, but wrapped it up in 6.

Having read the books and watching the movie, I personally love it. The research put into the books as well as the links between history and the characters have stuck with me thru out the years.

I loved the movie more than the book, which I also loved. My only problem is after I bought it and watched it twice, it disappeared from my movies and I don't know how to contact this website
