Nearly six decades after the cult classic One Million Years B.C. (1966), the prehistoric world returns in a bold reimagined sequel. One Million Years B.C. 2 follows Kaela (Anya Taylor-Joy), a fierce young hunter from the Rock Tribe, who struggles to unite rival clans after a series of volcanic eruptions devastates their lands.
When a rival warlord, Korvak (played with commanding gravitas by Liam Neeson), seizes control of fertile territory, Kaela must journey across treacherous lands filled with giant creatures, violent storms, and supernatural myths come alive. Along the way, she encounters saber-toothed tigers, towering mammoths, and monstrous sea reptiles—all realized with a mix of practical effects and cutting-edge CGI.
At its core, the film explores survival, leadership, and destiny. Kaela must learn that uniting her people requires not just strength, but wisdom. Her battle with Korvak culminates atop an erupting volcano in a brutal, fiery duel where both warrior and nature itself collide.
The final act shows Kaela leading her people to safety as the old world crumbles, hinting that humanity’s survival will depend on cooperation over conquest. The story closes with a powerful visual of Kaela silhouetted against the dawn, the first leader of a united people.
