Ed Malone needs a story that will prove his courage to the woman he loves. The hotheaded journalist gets his chance when he interviews the infamous Professor Challenger, a scientist claiming to have discovered living dinosaurs. Malone talks his way onto Challenger's four-man expedition to South America. The team travels deep into the jungle to reach an isolated plateau surrounded by towering cliffs. Cut off from the modern world, this forgotten land shelters creatures that vanished everywhere else millions of years ago. Pterodactyls soar overhead while massive dinosaurs roam below. The explorers also encounter a brutal ape-man species that threatens their survival. Malone must survive prehistoric predators and navigate the tensions within his own team. His quest for adventure becomes a fight for his life in a world that time forgot.
