The Peking Man

In 1929, the fossil of a 500,000-year-old man is discovered in China. By 1941, the Japanese army confiscates this find, leading to its mysterious disappearance during the war. The narrative weaves a science fiction tale around this historical context, introducing a space rocket that launches a satellite containing a secret cargo.

The satellite crashes on a remote island, where scientists find footprints in the sand, hinting at the presence of an ancient, primitive family. The film delves into their struggle as they confront the scientists eager to study them. With a diverse cast including Naoto Ogata and Show Aikawa, The Peking Man presents a unique blend of history and speculative fiction, appealing to fans of the genre.
