The film follows D'Leh (Steven Strait), a young mammoth hunter from the Yagahl tribe during the Mesolithic period. It is shown first that, when D'Leh was young, two events happened. First, the mysterious arrival of Evolet (Camilla Belle), a young girl with bright blue eyes who prompts a prophecy from the wise old woman of the tribe, Old Mother (Mona Hammond). Second, the departure of D'Leh's father who leaves to look for new ways to bring sustenance to the tribe. D'Leh falls in love with Evolet and promises that she will always be in his heart.
Several years later, the Yagahl tribe is expecting the arrival of a mammoth herd to help them survive the winter. According to Tic'Tic (Cliff Curtis), D'Leh's mentor and a friend of D'Leh's father, whoever kills the lead male of the herd, will inherit the legendary White Spear of the North, and Evolet as well. There is a rivalry between D'Leh and Ka'Ren, who also wants to be the leader of the tribe.
When the mammoth herd arrives, the hunters try to capture the biggest one, but it manages to escape. D'Leh is the only one that follows him and the mammoth ends up dead when it accidentally falls on top of D'Leh's spear. Since nobody sees this, other than Tic'Tic, D'Leh is assumed to be the leader and the winner of Evolet's love. However, Tic'Tic is reluctant to recognize D'Leh. Being honest to what happened, D'Leh returns the White Spear.
That same night, a mysterious tribe attacks the village and some of them are kidnapped, including Evolet. D'Leh, being away at the time of the attack, is spared. He decides to rescue his love, together with Tic'Tic, Ka'Ren, and young Baku, whose mother was killed during the attack. During their journey, they are attacked by terror birds while entering a forest. Upon finding the rival tribe, Ka'Ren and Baku end up captured too. At one point, D'Leh falls on a trap-hole where he finds a saber-toothed tiger also trapped. Despite being scared, D'Leh ends up saving the tiger and letting him free.
D'Leh and Tic'Tic keep on walking through the desert finding the Naku tribe. Just when they are about to attack them, the saber-toothed tiger appears, but D'Leh confronts it. Recognizing him as the one that saved it earlier, the tiger spares him and protects him from the tribe. The tribe then acknowledges D'Leh as the fulfiller of a prophecy that someone who spoke with the tiger would help them. D'Leh also learns the fate of his father when it is revealed by Nakudu, leader of the Naku, that he had met him.
Joining with other fellow tribes of the area, D'Leh leads them to the altars where the kidnappers are taking Evolet and the others. Some mysterious figure is forcing the prisoners to build altars and pyramids for them. Convinced to rescue Evolet, D'Leh and his friends lead an attack on the pyramids and ends up killing the mysterious god-like figure. After freeing Evolet from the leader of the kidnappers, she is shot from behind with an arrow. However, she comes back to life to fulfill the prophecy of Old Mother.
D'Leh and the rest of the Yagahl say goodbye to the Naku and return to their village. The film ends up with D'Leh and Evolet seeing how the seeds that Nakudu gave them are growing, marking the birth of agriculture.
