Quest For Fire

Overview & Specifications

A landmark of visionary cinema, QUEST FOR FIRE (LA GUERRE DU FEU) is a prehistoric odyssey unlike anything before or since. Set 80,000 years ago, the film follows a small tribe’s desperate journey to rekindle the flame that sustains their survival.

With no spoken language and immersive world-building, director Jean-Jacques Annaud crafts a raw, visceral tale told through striking visuals, groundbreaking performances (Everett McGill, Ron Pearlman and Rae Dawn Chong), and Oscar-winning makeup effects.

Celebrated for its bold originality and anthropological detail, QUEST FOR FIRE has achieved enduring cult status as the first truly prehistoric fiction film.
