Carnosaur 3: Primal Species

The army convoy is ambushed by terrorists who believe they are stealing uranium. They quickly realize the cargo is not conventional material but living frozen biological specimens. The violence triggers chaos and sets up the later discovery of the true haul.

Two frozen Velociraptors and a Tyrannosaurus rex escape from their containment as the warehouse is opened. They slaughter terrorists and create chaos, and police arrive expecting to find drug dealers instead of dinosaurs. The immediate aftermath shows the dangerous true cargo roaming the warehouse.

Authorities locate the sole survivor among the criminals; however, the dinosaurs turn on the police inside the warehouse. Several officers are killed as the creatures close in. The chaos underscores the lethal nature of the cargo.

A special CT force led by Colonel Rance Higgins is called in by General Mercer to contain the crisis. They begin to piece together what happened at the warehouse, uncovering signs of a refrigerated truck and body parts rather than uranium. The discovery pushes the team to take decisive action.

The CT team navigates through crates and boxes, uncovering body parts and the refrigerated truck behind the cargo. The team realizes the actual threat is far from conventional weapons. Two CT members are killed in this phase.

Dr. Hodges explains that the dinosaurs are genetically rebuilt and are the last three carnosaurs alive. They were on their way to a government research facility and must be captured alive due to potential disease cures. This revelation reframes the threat and sets the mission's goal.

The dinosaurs’ destination is a government research facility, and the team emphasizes the need to capture them alive. A large meat shipment on the dock provides an opportunity to trap one or more dinosaurs using a decoy. The plan shows tactical coordination between soldiers and scientists.

Marines arrive; Private Polchek is given a tranquilizer to shoot the dinosaurs while troops prepare a meat-based decoy. The raptor initially lunges for Polchek but is shot down, demonstrating the immediate danger.

The injured Velociraptor is brought to base for examination, enabling Hodges to study its regeneration. The capture demonstrates the unusual biology behind the carnosaurs.

The T. rex and the Velociraptor escape onto an agricultural transport ship, escaping into the sea with the scientists in pursuit. Their escape marks a shift from dockside containment to open-water pursuit.

Rossi, the Marines' captain, leads the team as they move the ship out to sea and repurpose its coolant to freeze the dinosaurs. The tactical shift to an aquatic setting underscores the escalating stakes.

While exploring the lower decks, the raptors kill more soldiers and breach an elevator cable, sending the group to the lower level where they discover a nest of eggs. The T. rex explodes into action, killing Polchek and heightening the urgency to act.

Hodges and Rance hide behind lockers as the T. rex headbutts and the crew fights to survive. Rance throws an explosive into the dinosaur's mouth, killing it, and the survivors race to jump into the ocean as the ship explodes behind them.

In port, a lone terrorist is bound in the back seat of a police cruiser when a Velociraptor appears and attacks him. The attack shows that the danger from the carnosaurs has not ended.
