Quest for Fire For years nfx>tlon pictures like "Star Wars," "Star Trek; and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" have excited our Imagination by taking us far into the distant future. Now 20th Century-Fox presents a motion picture wAiich takes us to a tirtie that Is just as unknown and mysterious... the distant past. "Guest For Fire” Is a spectacular sclence-fantasy adventure set 80,000 years ago, a period when men lived as members of fiercely loyal tribes, scattered throughout a vast, unexplored world. These tribes- some of them savage, others peaceful - battled each other and their environment for survival. The key to their surviv^y was fire - to wanm their campsites and drive off attacking tribes and predatory animals. "Quest For Fire” is the extraordinary adventure of three courageous warriors \A^o venture beyond the safety of their tribal campsite when their fire is destroyed during a battle with a rival tribe. Although these warriors possessed fire, they did not yet know how to create It. In the course of their perilous journey to find another source of the sacred, life-giving flame, they encounter vicious beasts, cannibals who nearly take them captive and - most important of all -they discover the secret of how to make fire anew. In its initial engagements in New York and Los Angeles, "Quest For Fire” broke attendance records previously held by "Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” The visual beauty and excitement of this magical re-creation of an £dien, primitive world stunned audiences and Impressed crittes, who called it “the n^t ‘Star Ware”’ and "the movie adventure of a lifetime." “Quest For Fire” continues to create excitement as It opens at theatres across the country. Although it is rated R, the film has been applauded by educators as a unique and important production, teaching us about our ancestors and the beginnings of our civilization while entertaining us with Its spectacle. In France, whm “Quest For Fire” had its world premiere, the book upon which the film was based Is required reading in the public schools, and the film itself ViQS endorsed by numerous scholars as an event which all students should have the opportunity to experience. The French Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences voted "Quest For Fire” the Best Picture of the Year Award (the equivalent of our Oscar), and in this country the film was voted a special Best picture prize by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films. “Quest For Fire” is now playing (or will soon be opening) in your city. A Michael Gruskoff Presentation of an ICC-lnternational Cinema Corporation Production, the Jean-Jacques Annaud Film stars Everett McGill, Rae Dawn Chong, Ron Perlman and Nameer El-Kadi. Annaud directed from a screenplay by Gerard Brach, based on the novel by J. H. Rosny, Sr. The music is by Philippe Sarde.
