We hunted it into extinction....now it's hunting us! When a meteor smashes into a local museum the fury of a partially frozen 40 000 year old mammoth is unleashed on a small country town. Under orders to contain the threat that the mammoth posesses at all costs Special Agents Powers and Whitaker are given 17 hours to kill the mammoth or the entire town will be decimated. They recruit local paleontologist Dr. Frank Abernathy to help them hunt the creature down before its rampage of death and destruction gets to the outside world. With the clock ticking and the body count rising the only chance Dr. Abernathy has of saving his daughter and B-movie fanatic father is to help the agents destroy his lifes work.
