"...travel back in time for the special two-hour event debut of 'Terra Nova', the new epic adventure drama that follows an ordinary family on an extraordinary journey to prehistoric Earth..."
The show begins in the year 2149, a time when all life on planet Earth is threatened with extinction. In an effort to save the human race, scientists develop a portal allowing travel 85 million years back in time to prehistoric Earth.
The 'Shannon' family (father 'Jim', his wife 'Elisabeth' and their three children 'Josh', 'Maddy' and 'Zoe') join the 'tenth pilgrimage' of settlers to 'Terra Nova', the first human colony on the other side of the 'temporal doorway'.
However, they are unaware that the colony is in the middle of a group of carnivorous dinosaurs.
