See the films the platforms disagree about most →A plucky caveman from a primitive valley loves playing his favorite sport, a primitive version of football. When the Bronze Age arrives, his home is threatened by a mighty empire that wants to mine the land. He challenges their champion soccer team to a match, with the fate of his valley resting on the outcome. He must train his rag-tag tribe of stone-age friends to play the modern game.
