Every culture has its myths and legends. That's what makes them cultures. With 10,000 BC, special effects wizard Roalnd Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) presents the story of the world's first human hero as though Hollywood were a culture of its own. And with lines of dialogue like,"Do not eat me if I set you free," you can probably imagine the result. The time is 12,000 years ago, plus or minus a year or three. Humans and the grandchildren of dinosaurs share the earth. With his lady friend kidnapped, D'Leh (Steven Strait) ventures out across the desert to find her. Along the way D'Leh makes like Braveheart and amasses an army of other tribes who are sick of seeing their people taken and put into slavery for a technologically advanced group of people.
