The wolf has been abandoned by his pack and finds a new pack member in Keda.The two then become inseparable and begin their journey together as Keda tries to make his way back home. The pair is faced with several dangers including Saber Tooth tigers.
Not only that, but the movie takes place during the last ice-age and if the wild animals don't kill them, the cold might.
"Alpha" is a beautiful movie about the relationship between Keda and the wolf. The character of Keda is depicted as the first man to ever treat a wolf with kindness. This decision is one which changes the entire course of human history.
A glimpse into prehistoric life
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie is based 20,000 years in the past. "Alpha" is a unique way of exploring the audience's ancestors and the dangers that they faced so many years ago. The prehistoric creatures such as mammoths and saber tooth tigers are seen as major threats to human kind.
As one can see in the trailer one man gets pulled away from a warm fire by a saber tooth tiger. There is nothing that his fellow man can do.
The suspense and tension of these impossible dangers build the atmosphere of "Alpha". The audience receives a vivid depiction of what their ancestors had to face during the time of the ice age. This forms a unique connection between the movie and the audience and they compare the past to present life.
The movie poster for "Alpha" has recently been released. It shows Keda and the wolf side by side as they will be in the movie. "Alpha" is set to be released in theaters on March 2, 2018.
