Overview
The latest animated adventure from the creators of Wallace & Gromit finds a young caveman taking on the might of a Bronze Age empire to save his tribe from extinction. Dug (Eddie Redmayne) challenges the evil Lord Nooth (Tom Hiddleston) to a game of prehistoric football in a bid to save his friends being forced into the badlands. A delightfully daft epic brimming with imagination.
