Ironmaster (Italian : La guerra del ferro: Ironmaster) is a 1983 film directed by Umberto Lenzi.
After the surprise box office hit of Jean-Jacques Annaud's film Quest for Fire (1981) in Italy, several film productions followed mimicking the film's style. These included films like Lucio Fulci's Conquest (1983) and Umberto Lenzi's Ironmaster. [3]
Ironmaster was filmed on location at Custer State Park in South Dakota with interiors shot at RPA-Elios Studios in Rome. [2]
Ironmaster was released in Italy on 10 March 1983. [1] [2] The film was released on Blu-ray on 23 January 2017 in North America by Code Red and on 10 April 2017 in the United Kingdom by 88 Films. [4] [5]
According to Michael Klossner, author of Prehistoric Humans in Film and Television, while Ironmaster received "few and very bad notices [and is] simple, only modestly ambitious and has its share of flaws … it's hard not to like a film which shows intelligent, articulate prehistoric people making discoveries, facing moral issues and showing capacity for great evil and finally for good." [6] Hal Erickson wrote in AllMovie that "Seldom has there been a more predictable 98 minutes' worth of Sword and Sorcery, but that doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable." [7]
