- Quest for Fire (French: La Guerre du feu) is a 1981 film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. It is based off the book of the same name by Belgian author J.H. Rosny aîné.

* All Cavemen Were Neanderthals: Subverted, they're Cro Magnons.
* The cannibals, however, are Neanderthal.
* Bilingual Bonus, Genius Bonus: The dialogue is left untranslated. However, both tropes are zig zagged in that no one knows this language except the one who created it.
* Earn Your Happy Ending: The group returns with fire...only for it to be extinguished by a careless man. Naoh tries to make fire with sticks, to no avail. Then Ika tries...and succeeds!
* Everything's Worse with Bears
* Genre Killer: Of the "One Million BC" referenced below. The movie set the bar so high that nobody's dared try to compete with it.
* Gory Discretion Shot: Brutally subverted.
* Groin Attack: ... Ow.
* Hey, It's That Guy!: Big Ed Hurley and Hellboy are cavemen now! And Ika is played by Squeak.
* The primitive language the people use was devised by Anthony Burgess.
* Kill It with Fire
* National Geographic Nudity
* One Million BC: One of the more accurate depictions of this period.
* Scenery Porn, Real Place Background, Shoot the Money: The film was shot on location in Canada, Scotland, Iceland, and Kenya. The backgrounds are simply gorgeous.
* Silence Is Golden
* Uncanny Valley Makeup: The makeup effects on the people work very well...too well.
