Summary:

A group of scientists undertake an expedition to Alaska's Federal Wilderness Zone to study the effects of global warming. The expedition changes suddenly on a routine foray into a glacial ice cave, where the group makes an astonishing find: an enormous ancient animal, encased in solid ice. The media conglomerate sponsoring their research immediately intervenes and arranges the ultimate spectacle--the creature will be cut from the ice, thawed, and revealed live on television. Despite dire warnings from the local Native American village and the scientific concerns of paleoecologist Evan Marshall and his team, the "docudrama" plows ahead--until the scientists make one more horrifying discovery. The best is no regular specimen--it may be an ancient killing machine. And they may be premature in believing it dead.
