action

During a trip in a rubber dinghy, Rick Marshall and his two children Will and Holly are caught in an earthquake. Everything collapses behind them and they finally fall down a gigantic waterfall . When they wake up, they find that they are in a prehistoric world and are threatened by a Tyrannosaurus Rex shortly after their arrival . They flee into a high cave, which they now see as their home. Every now and then the T-Rex named Grumpy comes by there. But you know what to do. They ram a sharpened tree trunk into the dinosaur's throat and the dinosaur escapes screaming.

During their stay in their new world, the three marshals discover friends as well as enemies. So they meet the peaceful Pakuni (ape-like people) and make friends with Cha-Ka, Ta and Sa. They also come into contact with an aggressive, lizard-like people.

These beings call themselves Sleestaks , are green, shy away from light, make a frightening hiss of themselves, and are more intelligent than the Pakuni. The Sleestaks live in what is known as the Lost City . This is an underground tunnel complex and was built by the Altrusians and guarded by the Allosaurus Alice .

The gray Altrusians are a peace-loving Sleestak species and evolved 1000 years earlier than the green Sleestaks. The Marshalls meet Enik, a member of this race. Enik comes from the past through a time portal.

In mysterious golden pyramids you will find colored crystals , where - depending on how you touch them - strange things can happen or the weather can be influenced.

In the search for Rick, Will and Holly, Jack Marshall, the uncle of Will and Holly, also came to the dinosaur era. Father Rick was able to go back into his world through Enik's time portal and had to leave the children behind.
