The Clan of the Cave Bear is a 1986 film based on the book by Jean M. Auel.

Directed by Michael Chapman, the film stars Daryl Hannah as Ayla, a young Cro-Magnon girl who was separated from her family during an earthquake and found by a group of Neanderthals.

Dialogue is conducted mostly through a form of sign language which is translated for the audience with subtitles.

Because the film cost US $15 million to produce and brought in only US $1.9 million domestically, it is considered a box office flop. There was supposedly a sequel planned which never came to fruition.
