In this vivid view of prehistoric life, a man from the mean-spirited Rock Peoplpe (John Richardson) is banished from his home, but soon finds himself living among the kind, gentle Shell People. There, he falls in love with one of their tribeswomen, played by bikini-clad Raquel Welch, in the role that made her a major star. The two decide to strike out on their own, living by their wits in a deadly land of treacherous beasts and unknown dangers – all leading to a thrilling climax by the edge of an angry volcano. With stunning primeval imagery created by pioneering special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen, One Million Years B.C. is a true science fiction classic.

Critic Reviews:

• *"

Seen nowadays it is a kitschy, retro scream. Yet as dinosaurs and giant sea-turtles roam the volcanic earth in One Million Years BC, this is also a chance to appreciate the early work of the great special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen. "*

• Times (UK)

• " If One Million Years BC is a tale of two tribes and their eventual miscegenation (figured – ooh da la – as a climactically erupting volcano), it is also a reminder of the primal drives – sex, violence – from which we never fully progress. "
