With the exception of Irwin Keyes as Joe Rockhead, none of the original cast from the first film reprise their roles in this film. The film stars Mark Addy as Fred Flintstone, Stephen Baldwin as Barney Rubble, Kristen Johnston as Wilma Slaghoople, and Jane Krakowski as Betty O'Shale, replacing John Goodman, Rick Moranis, Elizabeth Perkins, and Rosie O'Donnell respectively. The supporting cast features Joan Collins, Thomas Gibson, Harvey Korman (in his final film performance), and Alan Cumming as both The Great Gazoo and Mick Jagged, a parody of Mick Jagger. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, who created the original cartoon series, make cameo appearances at the end of the film.

In prehistoric suburban Bedrock, young bachelors and best friends Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble have recently qualified as crane operators at Slate & Company. Soon to be employed, they hope to score dates. The Great Gazoo, a small, green alien exiled to Earth by his species, offers them help, although only they can see him. Meanwhile, Wilma Slaghoople, the daughter of a wealthy military veteran, wants a normal life, though her controlling mother Pearl wants her to marry suave casino owner Chip Rockefeller. She runs away from home and meets waitress Betty O'Shale at the restaurant Bronto King in downtown Bedrock. With Wilma unable to pay for her meal, Betty assumes her to be "caveless" and offers to buy her lunch. Wilma moves into Betty's apartment and gets a job as a fellow waitress.

Smitten with the waitresses, the two men invite them to a carnival, with Fred dating Betty and Barney taking Wilma. However, the couples fail to bond until both men switch dates. At one game, Fred wins an egg that hatches into a dog-like baby dinosaur, which he names "Dino". Wilma invites her new friends home to a birthday party for her father, Colonel Slaghoople, where all are shocked by her wealth. Intending to propose, Fred changes his mind after meeting Chip, who mocks his low-level job at Slate & Company. Pearl despises the three new friends, but the Colonel, glad for Wilma's happiness, accepts them and privately gives Wilma a valuable pearl necklace that his great-grandmother once wore. After the boys humiliate themselves at dinner, Wilma, nevertheless, proclaims her pride and follows them out.
