Triassic Attack

In Mill City, a tight-knit Native American town, the arrival of a new project stirs hard feelings and deep concerns. Richmond Keller envisions a roadside museum/college that promises progress but threatens the town’s character and landscape. The effort is led by the town’s sheriff, Jake Roundtree, who finds himself pulled between duty and a painful family history. He is simultaneously navigating the strain of a crumbling marriage to Emma Neil and the complicated, aching bond with his estranged daughter, Savannah. The clash between growth and tradition becomes the storm that will test everyone’s loyalties and courage.

One fateful night, Dakota, Jake’s uncle, sneaks into Keller’s museum and vandalizes the space before performing a disturbing ritual. The rite awakens three ancient skeletons of enormous power: a towering Tyrannosaurus Rex, a cunning Velociraptor, and a soaring pteranodon. Dakota escapes into the night, but the revived beasts stampede through the town’s quiet streets, leaving a trail of fear and destruction in their wake. The next morning brings more chaos as Wyatt’s trailer is found destroyed and Wyatt himself vanishes, throwing Wyatt’s friends and the rest of Mill City into a scramble for safety. Meanwhile, Savannah’s college life carries on with a separate group camping trip, and Emma’s archaeology class takes a field trip that goes dangerously wrong when two of her students vanish. When Bryan’s severed hand appears buried in a tree, panic begins to ripple through the community, and Jake, aided by Deputy Savage, dives into the newly awakened nightmare with a growing sense that something far bigger is at play.

As dawn breaks, the wheels of catastrophe keep turning. The dinosaur attacks spread from the countryside into the town’s heart, and Melissa is found dead in a bloody scene that confirms the threat is no longer just folklore. Savage rushes to evacuate Emma’s class while Jake and Emma press on to locate Savannah. On a lakeside stretch, Savannah and Matt’s group are ambushed by the largest skeleton, a brutal encounter that leaves several casualties but also a narrow escape for Savannah and Matt, who lose track of Savannah’s phone in the chaos. The investigation deepens as Jake and Emma stumble upon more carnage—dead fraternity members and a massive footprint in the mud—as Savannah and Matt encounter Dakota, who is now visibly altered by the ritual’s visions.

The danger intensifies when the skeletal hunter, the raptor, appears on the road, and Jake tries to stop it by running it over. The bone’s eerie resilience forces the trio to flee into the woods. They duck into a water tower where the raptor skeleton is temporarily trapped, and Jake uses the moment to call Savage for reinforcements while Emma, Jake, and Wyatt slip away in a vehicle. Meanwhile, Savannah decides to recruit Dakota to help her reverse the curse by killing the roaming fossils. They head back toward the museum to perform a counter ritual, and in the process they uncover Wyatt’s dog, who had disappeared during the first attack. Emma makes a frantic call to Keller, urging him to evacuate the college campus as danger looms, though he’s slow to accept the gravity of the threat.

The campus becomes ground zero as the pteranodon crashes Keller’s presentation and claims victims, followed closely by the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Keller hides as the campus erupts in chaos, and a rescue drive begins when Emma, Jake, and Wyatt arrive to pull him to safety. A larger gathering of survivors, including a military team, takes shape inside the college as Jake forges a tense alliance with the National Guard, intent on eliminating the threat. The squad manages to destroy the T. rex and the pteranodon, but the fossils fuse into a terrifying single hybrid that turns the battlefield deadly and claims the lives of several soldiers before the defenders can regroup.

With the situation spiraling, Savage leads a precarious search for Dakota’s group, and Dakota, in turn, reaches out with a plan to control the spirits inhabiting the fossils. Jake resolves to rescue Savannah personally, setting out with Wyatt to confront the crisis head-on. The raptor’s fossil, meanwhile, breaks free from confinement and advances toward the campus, heightening the sense of doom. Emma joins the effort once again, this time joining Keller in a bid to safeguard the dwindling survivors.

Back at the museum, Savannah, Dakota, and Matt begin a climactic ritual intended to shut down the fossil phantoms. They face a brutal test as the raptor fossil arrives at the campus and begins to pick off the remaining fighters. Dakota’s weather-based ritual escalates into a storm of energy, threatening to unleash more reckless power. The hybrid fossil battles the living group, killing Savage and wounding Dakota and Matt before Jake and Wyatt return with weapons to push back the threat. The ensemble of survivors retreats into the museum, where Emma and Keller arrive to lend aid and cover.

In a final gambit, the group lures the fossils to a nearby electrical station and uses the power to disrupt and destroy them. Savannah stays steady at the ritual’s center, drawing the energy and guiding the fossils toward the station where electricity completes the kill. The hybrid fossil is electrocuted, and the raptor, torn from the tower, is felled by the protective cables. The immediate danger finally ebbs, and the town begins to pick up the pieces, recognizing that the immediate peril has passed.

In the wake of the battle, a sense of renewal softens Mill City’s wounds. Keller completes a sort of healing by channeling the town’s heritage into a new museum that honors Native American history, offering the community a way to celebrate their roots while acknowledging the trials they endured. The final image suggests resilience and a cautious optimism that even amid overwhelming danger, a community can rebuild and find meaning in its shared past.
