The dinosaurs are back, and they're getting hungrier by the minute in this sequel to the terror tale
Carnosaur. There's been a call for help from a secret underground military facility deep in the Nevada desert, so a rescue team led by
Maj. McQuade (
Cliff De Young) and trouble-shooter
Reed (
John Savage) is sent out to investigate. When they arrive, the facility's staff are all dead -- the only living person they can find is a lost, disoriented teenager named
Jesse (
Ryan Thomas Johnson) who is wandering through the flats. As they investigate,
McQuade and
Reed make two terrifying discoveries. A cache of high-grade plutonium has been stored there, but the containment is faulty, and a cloud of deadly radiation is slowly but surely being released. To make matters worse, the Army had found a number of dinosaur eggs during a dig and had stashed them at the Nevada facility...and the radiation has caused them to hatch, with a pack of hungry velociraptors patrolling the area as a result.
Carnosaur 2 also stars
Don Stroud,
Rick Dean, and
Arabella Holzbog.
