Missing Link

Upon returning to his camp from a nearby watering hole, a half-simian/half-human herbivore (Michael Gambon) -- the titular "missing link" between ape and man -- discovers his entire clan, friends and family have been killed by Stone Age humans. Thus begins a long search for others of his kind. As he traverses the African continent avoiding humans and looking for clues about his own species, he also befriends animals and learns about the world in which he is the last of his kind.
