A researcher at Chicago's Natural History Museum returns from South America with some crates containing his findings. When the crates arrive at the museum without the owner there appears to be very little inside. However, police discover gruesome murders on the cargo ship that brought the crates to the US and then another murder in the museum itself. Investigating the murders is Lt. Vincent D'Agosta who enlists the help of Dr. Margo Green at the museum - she has taken an interest in the contents of her colleague's crates. Unknown to both there is a large creature roaming the museum which is gearing itself up for a benefit reception which the city's mayor is to attend.

The appearance of the Kothoga creature was purposely left till the last half of the film because Stan Winston's creature was not completed in time for the scenes requiring the visual and physical presence of it on set. It was also one of the reasons the film was delayed until the winter of 1996/97.
During the post-production process of the film, Paramount kept Stan Winston's Kothoga creature under wraps much like Universal had done with Jurassic Park, with no one permitted to talk about the production or the creature itself.
