It was directed by Roland Emmerich and stars Steven Strait and Camilla Belle . The world premiere was held on February 10, 2008 at Sony Center on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin . </P> <P> Emmerich's film was a box office hit, but consistently regarded by professional critics as his worst film, as well as one of the worst films of the year . </P> <P> At about 10,000 BC, a tribe of hunter - gatherers called the Yagahl live in a remote mountain range in the Urals and survive by killing woolly mammoths . The camp is led by a hunter who has proven his bravery by killing a mammoth single - handedly, and taking the White Spear . The people also strongly venerate an elderly Neanderthal woman, the last of her kind, called Old Mother, who has shamanistic powers . As time goes by, the mammoths that supply the people start to dwindle, and the chief of the tribe finds a young girl with blue eyes 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". The chief of the village, not believing in Old Mother's prophecy and desperate to feed his people, leaves and gives the White Spear to his friend Tic'Tic, who also watches over D'Leh, the chief's son . As Tic'Tic alone is entrusted to know of the quest, all the others in 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 and become close . </P> <P> When the mammoths finally come, D'Leh and the other men of the tribe hunt them under Tic'Tic's leadership, and D'Leh manages to kill one by causing the beast into impaling itself on his spear, inadvertently winning the White Spear . He also wins Evolet in marriage . However, consumed by the guilt that he did not earn the White Spear fairly, after speaking with Tic'Tic, he gives the White Spear up and by effect, forfeits his marriage to Evolet . The next day, horse - raiders attack the camp, enslaving Evolet and several others and killing many of the tribe . D'Leh, Tic'Tic, Ka'Ren and the young boy Baku set out to rescue Evolet and their fellow Yagahl, but she is recaptured with Ka'Ren and Baku during an attack on the slavers by Terror Birds . Tic'Tic is wounded by the predators during the battle . D'Leh and the injured Tic'Tic continue on . When D'Leh is out hunting, he falls into a pit - trap . When he wakes from the fall, he rescues a Smilodon trapped with him in the pit and then escapes himself . After Tic'Tic recovers, they make their way to a village nearby and learn of a prophecy from the Naku, a tribe they meet: whoever talks to a Smilodon that they call the "Spear - Tooth" will help free their people . D'Leh realizes the prophecy is about him when the sabertooth refuses to kill him when they next meet . They also learn that D'Leh's father, the chief of the Yagahl, was a guest of the Naku and learned from them until the slavers took him captive and Tic'Tic finally reveals to D'Leh why his father left . </P>
