Set in what its opening credits slyly term the neo-Pleistocene age, the film follows a group of plucky stone - agers, led by Dug (Eddie Redmayne), who have their home colonised by the dastardly Lord Nooth (Tom Hiddleston, adopting a peculiar and very funny pan-European accent) and his Bronze Age, a tribe of
aloof technocrats with an unlikely passion for football.
