Member Rating:  
We first see Asian cave dweller John Lone as he wanders around what seems to be his natural habitat of some 10,000 years ago. Soon we learn that Lone is in a controlled environment in a scientific lab--and that his frozen body was recently discovered during an expedition to the North Pole (hence the nickname "Iceman"). Scientists Lindsay Crouse and Timothy Hutton hope to learn to communicate with Lone, and in so doing discover life was truly like for our neanderthal ancestors. The other, less altruistic scientists want to dissect Lone and analyze his innards. With Hutton's help, Lone escapes, but soon both men realize that there's really no place for "the Iceman" in modern society. Though the settings are convincingly arctic, Iceman was filmed in Manitoba. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    This movie had potential but it kept dragging. See this movie if you nothing to watch cause it's not that bad.

    A lot of why I enjoy this movie so much has to do with the beautiful and haunting score, which really helps you to emphathize the plight of the captured Neanderthal. Great performances from some important actors from the 80's, including Danny Glover and Timothy Hutton. It's an interesting plot setup, and makes me think modern filmmaking could do a lot more with it, incl. special effects, although these were pretty impressive for when this film was made. A nice Sunday afternoon film!
