Turok: Son of Stone (film)

Turok: Son of Stone is a 2008 direct-to-DVD animated action-adventure film based on the Turok comic book series published by Western Publishing and later by Valiant Comics. It was produced by Classic Media and distributed by Genius Products.

The film tells the story of Turok, a young Native American warrior, and his brother Andar, who are caught in a battle against an advanced army led by the villainous Chichak. The conflict leads them through a mysterious portal into the Lost Land, a prehistoric world populated by dinosaurs and other dangerous creatures.

Turok must learn to survive in this savage environment and protect a group of refugees who have also been transported to the Lost Land. He battles both the dinosaurs and Chichak's army, ultimately embracing his destiny as a protector of the innocent.

The film is noted for its mature themes and violence, distinguishing it from many other animated films aimed at younger audiences. It is a standalone story, loosely adapting elements from various iterations of the Turok franchise, including the comic books and video games. The film received mixed reviews, with critics noting the animation quality and action sequences, but also criticizing the story and character development.
