1987
Fred Flintstone, a quarry worker, and his best friend Barney Rubble face financial struggles and the threat of layoffs from their employer, Mr. Slate, who is being manipulated by his greedy nephew, Jerry Lava. Fred is promoted to Assistant Junior Vice President, causing a rift with Barney and leading him to become arrogant and dismissive of his friends and family, especially after he is manipulated by Lava into turning against Barney. Barney discovers that Lava is secretly replacing the quarry's durable building material with a defective, unstable substance called Fibrerock, which Lava plans to use in a new development called Slate City. As the new Slate City building begins to collapse during a talent show, Fred and Barney reconcile, expose Lava's scheme, and save their families and the other attendees from the crumbling structure.

Fred Flintstone, Wilma Flintstone, Pebbles Flintstone, DinoAll right, all right, I admit it! I got in over my head in the stock market... took some big losses...

I figured with the Woca sap in the Fibremix, the berry juice as superfluous...
Flintstone. Rubble. I... I don't know what to say. I... I treated you horribly... I ignored you, abused you... and then you come here and risk your necks like this... well, there's no price you can put on something like that, so I won't even try. But let me give you... a hearty handshake.

You stick with me today, cruise on down to the quarry and fill out a job application. I'm a big man there, Barney --
Now I remember! These guys were pulling this xenosaurus act that night at the plant! What's this, Lava... 'Plan B'?
I'm out here running the guts of the operation but you got a cut. It looks like my mind, but you're really behind.
