Movie Description
In the late 1600s on Rapa Nui, later known as Easter Island, a contest is staged between members of the ruling class and members of the servant class for control of the island and the hand of a beautiful maiden. Filmed on location at Easter Island.
Synopsis
Fictional account of how the giant statues known as Moai were erected on Easter Island. The Moai are tributes to the mythical beings who founded the island, and the ruling people, known as the Long Ears, demand that the enslaved Short Ears tribe continue to construct these magnificent monuments. But one slave is determined to find a way out: each year a spectacularly grueling marathon is held to decide who will become the island's ruler. Although Tupa, a member of the ruling class, wants to win the race -- and the beautiful Ramana as his bride -- Make of the Short Ears intends to defeat him. If he wins, his people will be free from their slavery...
