Professor Challenger leads a team of scientists and adventurers to a remote plateau deep within the Amazonian jungle to investigate if dinosaurs still live there.
The arrogant professor Challenger, a reputed biologist and anthropologist, dares the London Zoological Society toorganise an expedition to verify his spectacular theory that in his previous expedition to the Amazonian basin he found live dinosaurs.
Apart from him and his 'socialite' counterpart, professor Summerlee, it consists of experienced discoverer Lord Roxbury, the young reporter Ed Malone -who got publicly struck down with Challenger's umbrella at his arrival- and Jennifer Holmes, Malone's news agency's boss's daughter, essentially as conditions for putting up the money.
In Brazil they are joined by Jennifer's brother David and local 'guide' Manuel Gomez.
They soon discover the dinosaurs are real and dangerous, like giant spiders, but loose their helicopter and they are desperate for a way down from the isolated plateau. They learn Roxbury knew about the fate of Burton White, an explorer whose diary they find, thus presume to be dead, in search of diamonds, and confirmation of the local tribe being the lethal guardians of the plateau's secrets, but also get surprising help...
