About the Film
Will Ferrell stars as has-been scientist Dr. Rick Marshall, sucked into a space-time vortex and spat back through time. Way back. Now, Marshall has no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts to help him survive in an alternate universe full of marauding dinosaurs and fantastic creatures—a place of spectacular sights and super-scaled comedy known as the Land of the Lost.
