Encino Man (known as California Man in several territories)[5] is a 1992 American comedy film directed by Les Mayfield in his directorial debut. The film stars Sean Astin, Brendan Fraser, Mariette Hartley, Richard Masur, and Pauly Shore with supporting roles by Megan Ward, Robin Tunney, Michael DeLuise, and Ke Huy Quan.[2] In the film, two teenagers discover and thaw a frozen caveman, who has to adjust to 20th-century society while teaching them life lessons of his own.
The film was released on May 22, 1992, by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (under its Hollywood Pictures label). Despite negative reviews, Encino Man was a box-office success, grossing $40.7 million worldwide on a $7 million budget.[4] It was followed by a made-for-television spin-off, Encino Woman, in 1996.
