Diese 'History' Dokumentation untersucht die ultimativen Kämpfer der Urgeschichte: Schon seit mehr als einhundert Jahren erforschen Historiker und Wissenschaftler die Urgeschichte. Die Dokumentation zeigt die ultimativen Kämpfer dieser einzigartigen geschichtlichen Periode - gigantische Dinosaurier, die die Erde vor Millionen von Jahren beherrschten. Paläontologen untersuchen die Schlachtfelder der gnadenlosen Giganten und erhalten dabei erstaunliche Erkenntnisse darüber, in wie weit Beweglichkeit, Teamkoordination and der Angriff im richtigen Moment für die Dinosaurier überleben bedeutete. Jede Episode analysiert höchstdetailliert die räuberischen Kämpfe und enthüllt damit eine rücksichtslose Welt, die weitaus kalkulierender - und komplexer war, als bislang angenommen wurde.
