10,000 BC (2008)
Circa 10,000 BC, a hunter-gatherer tribe called the Yagahl live in the Ural Mountains and survive by hunting woolly mammoths. The tribe is led by a hunter who has killed a mammoth single-handedly and earned the White Spear, and venerate Old Mother, an elderly woman with shamanistic powers. The mammoths begin to dwindle, and the village chief finds a young girl named Evolet who survived a massacre of her village, perpetrated by what Old Mother calls “four-legged demons” who will come when “the Yagahl go on their last hunt”. She prophesies that whoever kills the leader of the “demons” will win both Evolet and the White Spear, becoming the next village chief. The tribe believe that the “demons” are mammoths, whose return will save them from starvation.
The chief does not believe the prophecy and leaves to find the mammoths. He entrusts the White Spear, his son D’Leh, and the true purpose of his quest to his friend Tic’Tic. The rest of the tribe, including D’Leh’s rival Ka’Ren, believe that D’Leh’s father was a coward and fled. Over time, D’Leh and Evolet fall in love. When the mammoths finally return, D’Leh hunts them with the men of the tribe under Tic’Tic’s leadership, and manages to kill one by accident, inadvertently winning both the White Spear and marriage to Evolet. The village believes Old Mother’s prophecy is coming true, but D’Leh is consumed by guilt for not earning the White Spear fairly. After speaking with Tic’Tic, he gives up the White Spear, forfeiting his marriage to Evolet.
