Ice Road Terror takes its cue from the popular History Channel documentary-style reality series “Ice Road Truckers”. For those unfamiliar with that program, it follows big rig truckers hauling supplies amid hazardous winter conditions across frozen lakes and dangerous ice roads to miners and other remote locales in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Ice Road Terror transplants the action to Alaska – possibly explaining why the weather and terrain appear far less threatening than in reality - and adds to the dangerous nature of their job by tossing in a toothy, Gila monster-esque, subterranean dinosaur of Eskimo legend with a taste for surface dwellers.
A pair of hot shot ice road truckers vying for some sort of award for most trips agree to haul truckloads of explosives (that take an awfully long time to blow up when the rig catches fire) up to a remote mining site where a prehistoric reptilian monster has just been inadvertently unearthed. A pretty environmentalist happens to need a lift up to the site and rides along with the trucker she’s designated to find romance with.
