Plot summary
Power and communications have failed at the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository, a military-run uranium mine that is normally closed to civilians. A crew of civilian technicians is the closest one available on short notice, and Major Tom McQuade, from the Department of Defense, leads it to the site. The technicians arrive to find the place deserted. Their search turns up Jesse, an orphaned teenage hacker whose uncle Joe works at the mine; Joe had caught Jesse trying to steal dynamite there. Jesse is catatonic and in shock. Unable to fix the communications equipment from the control room, the team concludes that it must head down into the facility's classified lower levels, over McQuade's objections, to find what has gone wrong. Down there, dinosaurs have taken over the facility.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Carnosaur 2 (1995)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Carnosaur 2 was made because its predecessor was the most successful film ever made by Roger Corman and his company New Horizons, according to effects artist John Carl Buechler.
- Effects artist John Carl Buechler and Magical Media Industries re-used the same foam-latex dinosaur models from the first Carnosaur to save money, but the material has a limited lifespan and the mechanical parts moved less accurately a year after they were built.
- The sequel's Velociraptors were portrayed through puppetry and a creature suit, and the suit was altered so the animals would look more like the raptors in Jurassic Park.
- Writer Michael Palmer finished the first draft of the Carnosaur 2 script in three weeks, and it went through two rewrites.
- Executive producer Roger Corman already wanted a Carnosaur sequel before the first film, Carnosaur (1993), had completed production, and writer Michael Palmer said Roger wanted to be ready because everyone felt the first film would do well.
