I first saw this movie when I was about 10 and I loved it. I've always been interested in evolution and early humans. "Missing Link" takes place in Africa, 1 Million years ago. There is a tribe of Australopithecus robustus living together (referred to as "the man-apes" in this film). The film focuses on one male robustus. He returns to his tribe to find them slaughtered, including his mate and child. He himself is attacked and left for dead by more advanced black humans (possibly Homo Erectus, who lived in Africa at the same time.) Now the last of his kind, the man-ape must find a new place to live and keep away from any of the Homo Erectus (who are constantly on the look-out for him). He has a very hard life afterwards, looking for food and water and nearly dying from heat stroke and dehydration. The film blends with some awesome nature scenes. After all, Africa 1 million years ago is not that different from the Africa of today. Parts of the movie are funny and some are sad. Australopithecus robustus was ultimately a dead-end in human evolution. At certain points in time, there were more than one species of humans living together. Nature had to make several attempts at human evolution; if nature only made one attempt and if it failed then there would be no humans today. Human evolution continued through Homo Erectus (like the ones in the film). Modern humans are descended from them. *Viewer Reviews* This is one of my favorite films. It grabs you and holds you down. It's very moving and makes you think. There is a little bit of the missing link in all of us. I tried forever to find a copy of it---finally I got it by talking a video store owner into selling me his--the only one I could find anywhere. This should be required viewing in high schools. Maybe we'd all think a little more before we did things. Excellent, fantastic, but, sadly, I think, most people wouldn't "get it". I'd really love for this to be released on DVD. Back To Top
