Während Frank mit dem Flugzeugwrack in den Fluten versinkt, werden Karl und David an den Strand einer vergessenen Insel gespült, wo sie eine große Überraschung erwartet: Auf dem idyllischen, auf keiner Karte verzeichneten Eiland namens Dinotopia leben Menschen – allesamt Nachfahren von Schiffbrüchigen – und Dinosaurier in friedlicher Eintracht zusammen. Die Brüder sind sofort fasziniert von diesem Paradies, müssen aber schon bald erfahren, dass nur die pflanzenfressenden Dinosaurier friedlich sind – die Fleischfressenden müssen mittels der Sonnensteine unter Kontrolle gehalten werden
