Killer Crocodile

A team of ecologists travels through a polluted wetland on a tropical island and traces the contamination back to barrels of radioactive waste dumped in the waters. They realize the waste is too dangerous to examine up close and decide to proceed cautiously. The discovery sets the stage for the investigation and raises concerns about environmental and biological risks.

With the waste posing a grave danger, they set up a camp in the nearby woods and continue their survey from a safer position. They discuss the possible effects of radiation on wildlife and the potential discovery of an endangered species. The team remains vigilant as night approaches.

When Candy disappears, Conchita ventures out to search for him. She finds Candy's collar and is killed by a gigantic crocodile as danger closes in around the camp. The violence foreshadows the predator that haunts the area.

The next morning the group realizes Conchita and Candy have vanished. They dock their boat at a nearby village and head into town seeking help to find them. Tension rises as they confront local authorities about what happened.

In town, the ecologists ask for assistance, but Judge insists there is nothing he can do. Pamela accuses the dumping company of bribing the authorities in exchange for inaction. The political tension complicates the search for Conchita and the investigation into the pollution.

After the encounter, Judge asks Jim Foley to temporarily cease illegal dumping to allow for investigation. Foley dismisses the request, downplaying the potential consequences of the waste. The conflict between authorities and the ecologists deepens.

Back in the swamp, the group attempts to dislodge their boat and stumbles upon Conchita's mutilated corpse. A local doctor suggests an animal attack or propeller injury as potential causes. Judge and Foley continue to minimize the possibility of a crocodile threat.

Resident hunter Joe reviews the remains and concludes that a crocodile was responsible for Conchita's death. His assessment supports the ecologists' fears about a dangerous predator in the wetland. The team grows more focused on understanding the crocodile rather than destroying it immediately.

Later, the crocodile strikes a dock and kills two men while nearly swallowing a young girl. The ecologists manage to save the girl, highlighting the ongoing threat to locals. The predator's size and aggression intensify the urgency of the situation.

The ecologists argue against killing the crocodile, believing it could be an endangered endling or important discovery. Bob hypothesizes that the animal's enormous size results from radiation exposure, linking it to the polluted waste. The disagreement splits the group over how to proceed.

Pamela spots the crocodile and Mark attempts to photograph it. The predator tears the boat's anchor rope and damages the vessel. The chaos leads to Bob being eaten as Kevin fights to reach shore.

The ecologists are picked up by Joe and brought to his house, where Kevin admits that killing the crocodile is now necessary. The team plans their final attempt to end the threat while considering the ecological stakes. The sense of urgency deepens as they prepare for a decisive action.

Judge and Foley travel to a dumping site to deal with the barrels, with Foley rigging drums with explosives. Judge resists detonating them, but Foley punches him and drives off. The crocodile then kills Foley, removing one obstacle to a potential cleanup.

In a climactic confrontation, Kevin uses a disconnected boat propeller to lure and kill the crocodile, which explodes after its mouth is filled with the device. They depart the swamp as a crocodile egg begins to hatch, hinting at a possible continuation of the threat.
