Where to watch Missing Link (1988)

Story

In prehistoric Africa, a creature caught between two worlds—part ape, part human—finds himself the last of his kind after his entire clan is destroyed. Driven by an instinctive need to find others like himself, he sets out on an arduous expedition across diverse landscapes including treacherous cliffs, barren deserts, and rolling hills. His quest eventually brings him to the coast, where he encounters human communities spreading across the land. Caught in this collision between his search for kinship and the advancing human civilization, he must navigate a world where he truly belongs nowhere.
