Journey Into the Past

Three humans are transported to a prehistoric world in Land of the Lost


By Ingrid Randoja

Dr. Rick Marshall is an oddball scientist who believes in some very weird theories. His most controversial theory is that time warps exist, and that it’s possible for humans to travel back in time.

 

Well, it turns out that wacky Rick was right!

 



Rick, his assistant Holly and a macho survivalist named Will discover a time warp, which sweeps them back in time, waaaaaay back. The threesome is transported to a prehistoric world, where dinosaurs share the planet with strange plants, giant insects and lizard creatures called Sleestaks.

 

The Sleestaks aren’t the smartest animals alive, but they are clever enough to know Rick, Holly and Will don’t belong in their world, and want to get rid of the human intruders. With no supplies or weapons at their disposal, the group must rely on their smarts for survival — and that’s asking a lot from this sad-sack trio.

 

But the humans do have one advantage over the Sleestaks, and his name is Chaka, a small ape-like creature who helps them navigate their way through the strange Land of the Lost.

 

Land of the Lost opens June 5
