Plot

edit

After the death penalty has been abolished in 2004, and not knowing how to deal with an abominable criminal recidivist, the FBI's experts and lawyers decide to send the condemned on a journey through time to a time when the sentence still applied. For financial reasons, this expedition is coupled with a scientific mission charged with tracing the first dinosaurs. They find they did exist, and the crew is in pursuit of the prisoner now at large.

Production

edit

The film was produced to capitalize on the success of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park.[citation needed] It was deliberately filmed on a low budget, with the dinosaurs being made of clay and papier-mâché. In some scenes, the animals “come to life” using stop-motion animation; even a toy dinosaur is used for some shots with this technique.[citation needed]
