Plot
The film begins with two dynamite fishermen working only to disturb an enormous saltwater crocodile which the beast attacks, mutilates, and kills both of them.
Jack McQuade runs a crocodile farm in Thailand with the help of his nephew Theo and Jack's sister (and Theo's mother) Allison. A new neighboring resort owned by the Konsong brothers constantly harasses Jack. They want to get Jack shut down because they have buildings on the land and want to steal the rest. The Konsong brothers set animal welfare, bill collectors, and tax collectors on the farm. As animal welfare investigator Evelyn Namwong refuses to shut down the farm, having found only minor violations, she is fired. After the beast eats two teenagers, the Konsongs send goons to break in and release three of the farm's crocodiles. Jack's crocodiles are blamed, and he gets orders to shut down until further notice.
The beast that killed the teens reappears and eats a young boy near the docks. Its filmed by a tourist nearby and identified as a 20-foot saltwater crocodile. Being much, much larger and of a different species than Jack's, his farm's name is cleared, and he is able to reopen. With the beast continuing to snack on the local population, Jack and Evelyn run into Hawkins, a man who has been hunting it for months to get revenge for its many victims. They join forces to find and kill the beast. While they are talking, they hear gunfire and two hunters claiming to have killed the beast, which is actually one of Jack's escaped crocs. They quickly rush over, only to see the real beast kill one of the hunters.
While they hunt the beast, the Konsongs send someone to kill Allison, who paid his taxes and other bills to help him out. The goon tries to run her down but misses. He leaves behind his cell phone, which links him back to Andy Konsong. Andy heads home to warn his brother that their plot has been uncovered, only to find pieces of him floating in a bloodied pool. The beast was in the pool when he was swimming and killed him. Panicked, Andy calls 911 but then gets sick to his stomach. While throwing up in the pool, the beast emerges and kills him.
Allison and Theo follow in a small boat when Evelyn, Jack, Hawkins and the crocodile farm manager go looking for the beast's pit. The beast appears and snatches Allison, much to Theo's horror. Jack and the rest of the team continue searching for the pit underwater while Hawkins and Theo go to search on land. They find the pit and, to their relief, Allison, who is unconscious but still alive. She wakes up to see the beast with its jaws right in front of her head, but it leaves when it hears Jack calling for her. It comes up behind Jack, gets a hold of his foot, and drags him underwater. As it goes down, Hawkins and Theo shoot at it, with Hawkins managing to shoot it in the brain. It dies with Jack's foot still firmly clamped in its mouth and him underwater. Stuck too high to get down to help, Hawkins advises Allison to cut off Jack's leg since they can't get the beast's mouth open. Instead, the park manager uses a bang stick to blast open its mouth, and Jack gets to keep his leg.
