Oh yeah this film Stars great actor Bruce Dern, father of the Dino battling anthropologist toughie from Jurassic park Laura Dern. Directed by Douglas Trumble, who worked on most of the 70’s science fiction films we all love. Wait, what’s that, I hear a forest in the distance, calling for my protection. Sounds kinda like Joan Baez. So I gots to run.
