Lakehurst, NJ -- The German-built, US Navy-operated dirigible, The Wyandotte, leaves port on a scientific mission to circumnavigate the globe. But a storm sends them crashing onto an uninhabited South Pacific island. At first, it seems like an idyllic tropical vacation spot to await rescue, but they soon learn that they’re sharing the island with something extremely dangerous. With rescue looking increasingly unlikely, they must fight to stay alive, and somehow--escape.
