After bathing him and trimming him to look like an average teenager, Dave names him 'Link' as in the missing link. At first the caveman panics at the sight of them, but then Stoney quickly calms him by using the flame of a lighter to mesmerize him. Upon investigating a beeping smoke alarm, they discover the caveman in Dave's bedroom, attempting to start a fire 'Indian-style' by rotating a stick in the center of a pile of kindling. When the boys return home, they find hand paint covering the walls and the house is in disarray. The caveman falls head first into the 20th century, discovering a garbage truck which he misinterprets as a mammoth from his time, and television which he discovers upon entering Dave's house. They leave the ice block unattended in the garage and space heaters left on cause the ice to melt, releasing the caveman ( Brendan Fraser) from the opening of the film. One day, as Dave is digging a pool in his back yard, he comes across a chunk of ice that has the body of a man in it. Her boyfriend Matt (Michael DeLuise) is a dim witted jock and school bully who is constantly responsible for making both Dave and Stoney the objects of ridicule by embarrassing them in various ways, usually directly due to Dave's growing affections toward Robyn. Dave is in love with Robyn ( Megan Ward) a sweet and attractive girl who has been his best friend since grade school, and until she reached 'babehood' had been rejected by Dave on several occasions. This segues into a present-day Los Angeles earthquake that awakens average teenager Dave Morgan ( Sean Astin) who, along with his best friend Stanley 'Stoney' Brown ( Pauly Shore) strive to attain popularity in high school but come off more as rejects and outcasts. The film opens during the first ice age where a caveman attempts to make fire with his girlfriend, however there is an earthquake that causes a cave-in that buries the two of them.
