Egos, money and science intersect in this modern American parable that follows the king of the dinosaurs and those who unearth its remains. Paleontologist Dr. Thomas Carr hopes his latest find, a juvenile T. rex, can keep his crucial research alive as he navigates the crumbling world of academia and relentless funding pressure. Meanwhile, commercial fossil hunter Alan Detrich leads multimillion-dollar dinosaur auctions and teams up with a Kansas museum to show off a T. rex specimen so rare it could change the face of prehistory. As these two titans of paleontology clash, we are confronted with two paths for the future of science: raw capitalism or putting collective knowledge before the pursuit of profit.

How could a tiny Tyrannosaurus Rex baby grow into a six-ton super carnivore? Dinosaur builder Hall Train and renowned paleoartist Jason Brougham will team up with some top scientists to attempt to bring a new vision of T-Rex to life. Will they be able to uncover the truth about this fascinating animal and create the worlds most accurate, fully skinned, mechanical replica of a walking juvenile T-Rex?

In 2001, a group of amateur fossil hunters began excavating a skeleton of a theropod dinosaur, nicknamed “Jane”. This is the story of how, sixty-six million years after its life and death, Jane became the focal point of one of the most heated debates in dinosaur paleontology. Is it Tyrannosaurus rex, Nanotyrannus lancensis, or something altogether unique?
