Plot summary
New Alcatraz is a maximum-security prison built in Antarctica for the world's most dangerous criminals. A drilling crew inside the facility breaks into a strange rock formation that has held a giant prehistoric boa constrictor in suspended animation, and the snake wakes. It chews a hole through the ice and gets into the prison, where it begins killing the people it finds. The prison's distress call reaches the United States military, which brings in the married paleontologists Robert Trenton and Jessica Platt-Trenton and a team of soldiers under Major Larsten. There they meet the survivors, among them Sergeant Quinn of security and Warden Fred Riley. The soldiers and the security staff divide into teams to hunt the creature, with Robert and Jessica following from the control room.
