Terror lurks in the form of a 60-foot, man-eating python, bred by mad scientist Dr. Anton Rudolph (Robert Englund). But things go horribly wrong when Rudolph transports his snake by air and the plane crashes, allowing the beast to escape. Now, Rudolph must team with security expert Bart Parker (Casper Van Dien) to find the supersized snake before it can do any damage -- and before the locals find out.
