Plot
70,000,000 years ago, a mountain-sized meteor, bristling with unknown energies, crashed into the Earth in what is now the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, with a major chunk of the object landing in Central Africa. The impact and resulting ecological catastrophe causing the extinction of the dinosaurs.
At the close of the 20th century, wealthy industrialist John Greystoke has been funding an expedition into the jungles of Africa to locate the meteor, now an ages-old legend, and harness its unique energy as a solution to the looming energy crisis. Despite the best efforts by scientist and adventurer James Porter, the expedition is a failure, and John is preparing to leave Africa with his wife, Alice, and their son, John Jr. As their pilot takes them over the jungle, the family sees a lone male mountain gorilla journeying to find a new family. The huge ape makes a threat display at the passing helicopter and continues on his way.
