''When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth'' is a 1970 film, directed by Creator/ValGuest and starring Victoria Vetri. A production of Hammer Films,it serves as a spiritual successor to their earlier film ''Film/OneMillionYearsBC''.

One of these women, Sanna, is able to escape and comes to live among another tribe. There, she falls in love with a tribesman named Tara. But when her new tribe opts to sell her back to her old, Sanna is cast out. Now she and Tara must try to survive in the dinosaur-infested wilderness while being hunted by the tribes.
