Anthony Burgess created the primitive language for the early humans in this prehistoric adventure about a trio of warriors who travel the savanna, encountering sabre-toothed tigers, mammoths and cannibalistic tribes in search of a flame that would replace the fire their tribe has lost.

Quest for Fire Ratings & Reviews

  • Spencer MBOctober 10, 2025
    I was pleasantly surprised by this. It’s not super deep but the storytelling is pretty incredible given the limitations the filmmakers put upon themselves. Honestly, this gets 3 stars alone for putting the teeth in the lions without them having issues with ‘em.
