Review

New York Times, 02/12/1982, p.C4, "...QUEST FOR FIRE is more than just a hugely entertaining science lesson, although it certainly is that. It's also a touching, funny and suspenseful drama..."

Sight and Sound, 10/01/2006, p.91, "The film is so well crafted and has such a relentless narrative drive that it quickly becomes absorbing."

Total Film, 10/01/2006, p.115, 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t delves into the filth of our forefather's existence, revealing the cruelty of their struggle to survive. There's also a heart-rending love story, humour, and the titular action-packed quest..."

Title Note

The special language spoken by the actors was created by the technical advisor, Anthony Burgess.

Filmed in Kenya, Scotland, Iceland, and Canada.

Copyright 1982 20th Century Fox.

Product Notes

During the Ice Age, the fire used by a clan of cavemen is extinguished during a battle. Subsequently, three members leave in search of new embers to renew their flame. This journey proves to be more event-filled than expected, however; for example, they rescue a young cavewoman from cannibalistic savages and she leads them to her tribe, where the trio learns the secrets of fire -- and love.
