Is the movie Quest for Fire available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?
Few films embody the raw, elemental struggle for survival like Jean-Jacques Annaud’s Quest for Fire (1981). Set in a prehistoric world where a Cro-Magnon tribe’s future hinges on a single, ever-burning flame, the story follows three warriors across treacherous landscapes, hostile tribes and monstrous beasts as they hunt for the secret of fire — and meet Ika, who may hold the knowledge they need. Celebrated for its immersive, largely wordless reconstruction of primeval life, the film won the Academy Award for Best Makeup. On Stream Tracker you’ll find whether that primitive spark is currently alight on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+, plus region and format details so you can quickly decide where to stream, rent or buy Quest for Fire.
Synopsis
When the perpetual flame that sustains a Cro-Magnon clan suddenly dies, three warriors are sent beyond their valley to find a new source of fire. Unskilled in the arts of ignition, they must push through a brutal, unfamiliar world—rock-strewn passes, ash-choked plains and territories ruled by rival bands and primeval predators. As their quest turns into a desperate fight for their people's survival, they encounter Ika, a lone woman who possesses the long-lost knowledge they need—and a secret that will test their loyalties and change their fate.
